Building Walls

I am stitching the walls with three strands of silk in the Staggered Cross stitch.   Very cute!

The Roof is On

The roof is on House #5.  I used three strands of silk in the Fern Stitch.

Roofing on Sunday

This is the roof of the fifth house. I outlined the black with three strands of silk.   The fern stitch on the lower right is from the guide.  The upper shingle is my idea.  I think I will stick with the guide.  That Amy knows her business!

Another Landscape???

Yes, but it's the Halloween House Row from Melissa Shirley.  I can't stop stitching this cute thing.  It is that much fun.  I really need to be finishing up the Christmas items for this year.  I think I will give myself the Memorial Day weekend and then get back to business.    I bought the canvas, stitch guide and threads from Amy's Golden Strand.

Report from Amy's Golden Strand

We had a wonderful time!  Six SWANs took off for Memphis for stitching, eating and visiting.  Jill and Amy were as charming and gracious as they always are.  We saw some other Memphis friends and thoroughly enjoyed ourselves.   I asked Amy for stitch ideas for The Village.
