IHSW

This is the start of "Love" by Dahlig, Finally! I am a little over 1,000 stitches (all black silk, love the coverage), a modest start but I was in Denver, CO all weekend visiting my best friend. I did sneak in a few stitches while we were catching up on Harry Potter before the last movie was released.



Page 3 of "Pretty" by Thomas is started! I worked on her a bit this weekend as well while I waited for my fabric to arrive. This is my second Hermit and Stitch Weekend and I am so excited to see everyone's progress on the Random Ramblings blog! The Maiden

New Bear of a Start

I know I am out of control, but when Heaven and Earth Designs released this new chart by Dahlig yesterday I lost my mind! Within minutes I had purchased it and ran to the cross stitch store after work to get fabric. Alas they were out of the 25ct Lugana I wanted so I will have to wait until Saturday!

The delay did allow for some experimentation however. I am not happy with the way DMC 310(black) looks on 25ct, the white fabric pokes through in the most annoying way! I could do 22ct with 2 strands of DMC, but then she will be huge! 28ct seemed just too small (I am starting to sound like Goldi Locks). So I took out Pretty by Thomas and tried substituting the DMC with silk, and it was just right! The Maiden

HAED SALE!!!!

I decided to take advantage of the last Heaven and Earth Design Sale until September. First up is Oceania (somehow the girl that never wanted to stitch a mermaid has become the queen of them!) and then Asiria by Nene Thomas (she reminded me of my favorite character from Game of Thrones on HBO).

Love Thy Neighbor

This one is so difficult to photograph with the fabric choice of "Sparrow"...it is what the pattern called for. I did change the words...but I am thrilled to now have an 09/10 & 11 type sampler in my collection. I can't wait to find the next one for 2012. The Crone. Yeah-another finish.

Updates and finishes

The Maiden suggests that I upload some new starts, but I think my new motto for this summer has to be "The summer of stitch completions." I am happy to add the last two uploads with "completed" round robin projects. This means our first round robin is now done (much longer than expected, but then life has a way of getting in the way some how.) I can not wait to see this one hanging in my house (The Crone)and see the other two (Outrageous Owls-The Maiden/4 Corner Houses-The Mother) have theirs hanging up as well. Maiden-let's take the Owl's in this weekend with the other framing to be done. I might put my new start up, but am not certain as of yet.

Round Robin Completion-finally

This was supposed to be completed months ago...after having a car wreck in February I haven't been able to sit and stitch for so long (great weeping going on here)...but finally am starting to feel like a human being again and finally finished the last round on the Mother's Round Robin. I will be sending this out on Saturday for framing...might be done for your birthday Mother..maybe! Love to all.

Halloween Mood

I have a new Halloween addition framed by Sara Rosenstein of the Framing Studio!
