Progress on Painted Pony Queen of Hearts

Full view of where we stand


Underskirt

I used three strands of silk to basketweave the background.  I used Neon Rays to do Rhodes Hearts.  I used #8 Kreinik to do the strap stitches.  I can't decide whether or not to put beads in the center or just stitch.

  1. Really, really pretty! I am going to stitch all day at my LNS where Julia Snyder is working with a group of us on stitch guides! How fabulous a day is that?

  2. That sounds like a wonderful day. I remember Julia from when she was a little girl hanging around the shop in Dallas where her Mom worked. Have a great time! Want to see the results posted someday soon.

  3. Add some beads! She is royal, after all.

    I spent last weekend with Julia when she taught in Atlanta - she's so much fun and I have a fabulous Brenda Stofft bunny stitch guide. I am planning to work on it this weekend.

    Also looking forward to a trip to Amy's in March, Steph!
