Resolved sample reworked and self evaluation of module one City and Guilds Certificate Embroidery

Sian made a few suggestions of ways to integrate the shapes more, so with a few more slashes and stitches through the stars the piece is now complete. I need to go shopping to get some mount board but for now it is just attached to a piece of cream card with spray mount.

 Self evaluation
Question: What might I have done differently along the making process of this piece?

Probably everything. I would have not used paper, I love working with up cycled bits, but fabrics would have given me a more distressed surface. 
Overall my self evaluation of the module, is that I took too long to finish and for me leaving big gaps of time in between posting and stitching is not a good way to work. Once I had put things away it was then difficult to get started again and I had to keep backtracking over previous samples and chapters to remember what I had learnt. I know I have a tendency to let my mind wander off in other directions, so for the next module I hope to be able to let myself focus on each chapter more and work at a more consistent pace. I have leant a lot from this first module though and love the online community of the Distant Stitch group too.
