Almost Finished with The Hart Hunt

Overview

I am a little further along than the above image.  You can see some of the other finished elements in the photos below.  I finished the field in the front.  It's the Spotted Hide stitch and I love it.  The guide calls for a different stitch but I had just done that stitch on another canvas so Amy graciously found me a new one.  The stitch and thread selections are from a guide written by Amy Bunger available at amybunger.com.  The canvas is a Diane Ulmer Pedersen from Painted Pony Needlepoint Designs.

Hart Hunt's Trees

Besides finishing a bit of field and starting a small bush, this is what you get with almost eight straight hours of stitching.  You would think that you would finish something working on it that long but NOOOO.  I am pretty happy with the results though.  The tree is stitched in packed outline and the leaves are lazy daisy stitches.  All the the stitch and thread selections are from the stitch guide written by Amy Bunger.   This one is for sale on her website.  That's amysgoldenstrand.com.

Happy Saturday stitching!

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.   

Weekend at D's Lakehouse

I got to spend about 24 hours out at the lake with the SWANs. It was a short break from the remodel. I took the Hart Hunt from Diane Ulmer Pedersen by Painted Pony Needlepoint Designs.  The stitch guide is by Amy Bunger from Amy's Golden Strand.  I got two fields done since we do nothing but eat, stitch and sleep.  And visit the whole time we are awake.  It is so much fun.  I had to leave early to remortar my new fireplace but it turned out really well so all is good.
