The Hart Hunt

I had a whole Saturday to stitch last weekend and got the second field from the bottom up done.  It looks good.  I started the bottom field but I am not feeling it with that stitch.   Amy had suggested a different one but it is a difficult one for me to stitch.  I should have listened.  Amy is always right.  Frogging it this weekend and going with her original.   

The Hart Hunt

Now that The White Farm is finished I'm headed back to The Hart Hunt.  A hart is a red deer which is conspicuously missing from the canvas.   We love it no less.  I'm stitching this using a guide from Amy Bunger.  It's available for sale on her website, Amy's Golden Strand.  Stay tuned for progress on this beauty.

The White Farm is Finished

I can't believe I actually finished something!  I love The White Farm by Diana Ulmer Pedersen from Painted Pony.  All the stitch selections and thread selections were by Amy Bunger.  What perfection!

More from The White Farm

I stitched the trees to the right of the house using the fly stitch and one strand of Wildflowers.  The background was already stitched using one strand of Lorikeet in the alternating T-stitch.  It's very subtle and very pretty.  These are all ideas I got from Amy Bunger at my last Rent Amy Day.

I finished the moo cow and filled in the wall behind her.  She needs her tail, face and udder finished up.   

White Farm Has a Barn Door

I am going to see Amy Bunger soon so I thought it best to get this done!  I am almost there.  I had run out of the overdyed wool Threadworx that she had recommended for the barn.  I got it and stitched the door.  

Next came my moo cow.  This fellow is being stitched with two strands of Burmilana in Encroaching Gobelin.
