Owl Angel from Painted Pony

I went to The Needle Works for our Wednesday SWAN get together.  I didn't want to take the White Farm so I took my Owl Angel.  I started stitching on the wings.

White Farm's Trees and Sky

I finished the trunks and branches of the tall trees.  It was Amy's idea to stitch them in packed outline stitch using one strand of Soy Luster.

White Farm Pond

The pond was stitched using two strands of overdyed floss in the horizontal Victorian Step.

White Farm Sky

I finished the bushes and started on the sky.  The bushes are outlined with tent stitches, filled in with t-stitches and overstitched with free form fly stitches.

Background of White Farm

For the bushes/hills in the background Amy suggested t-stitching using one strand of Lorikeet.  I came back and using one strand of Wildflowers added the trees on top of the t-stitching.

Goals for 2017

Brownstone Row

I took this canvas to Amy's a year and a half ago.  My goal is to stitch everything she created for me before I go back in September.  I hope to get the rest of the stitches then.  

Camel from Heartstrings Nativity

The goal is to finish this set.  All I have left are the animals.

Another one that went to Amy's and never got finished.
