HAED's Eternal Promise (retired) Over half a page stitched 3x1 tent |
Fully Frogged Fat Half of Raw Dublin Linen |
On the left is the stitched part I frogged. On the right is you can see the needle marking the place where I had done the reverse stitching. Happily, not one thread of the fabric was damaged!
In other news to share, my Mark 2 floor frame from Hearthside Craftworks shipped from Canada on Tuesday, with an estimated arrival in 10-14 days. That means I may have it by next weekend! I ordered it with 4 sets of scroll rods, figuring that was a good number of projects to keep in rotation. This is certainly a wonderful birthday present, and I love that my husband is so supportive of my stitching.
The first two pieces to be put on the scroll rods will be HAED's Angel with Iris by Nadia Strelkina and HAED's Sistine Chapel by Michelangelo, both of which are WIPs. A third set is earmarked for a new start, Golden Kite's The Turtle Dove by Sophie Anderson. I have not yet made a final decision on the fourth set, but I do have many wonderful charts in my stash. I think I'll get some stitching done on the first three, then make up my mind, as there's no hurry!

GK The Turtle Dove by Sophie Anderson |
Wow, I love all three of your projects. The GK is one I've looked at many times. I've been following your Sistine Chapel and I'm so impressed with everyone in the SAL stitching it.
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday and congratulations on your stand, I hope it will be wonderful for you and I'm looking forward to seeing what chart you decide on for your other set of rods.
I am in awe of the three projects. I could never attempt them . I am looking forward to following your progress.
ReplyDeleteGreat job on the reverse stitching and saving your linen! Now you can get back to forward-stitching! Your new floor stand with 4 sets of rods is a fantastic gift!
ReplyDeleteCongrats on making all the frogging =)
ReplyDeleteI hope your frame will be with you soon =)
Congrats for getting all that thread out! :D Looking forward to seeing your new projects.
ReplyDeleteYou did an amazing job getting all of those threads out - I can't wait to see your new start on that nice piece of linen. You are one of my HAED heroes because you work on so many :)
