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.

Did She Really Start Something New???

Yes, she did.  It's called Let the Earth Be Glad by Diane Ulmer Pedersen from Painted Pony Needlepoint Designs.  I bought it at The Needle Works and took it to Amy's.  This beautiful sky stitch is a slanted brick using two strands of Dinky Dyes overdyed silk was recommended by Amy Bunger.  Perfection! 

No She Didn't

Yes she did.  Merry Christmas to me.  I bought this canvas from The Needle Works here in Austin.   They are having a trunk show of Painted Pony Needlepoint Design canvases.  It's called Let the Earth Be Glad.  I took it to Amy's and she gave me a couple of stitch ideas.

Missing Memphis Already

Once again we had the best time in Memphis.  Eating, stitching and visiting with dear friends there.  FABULOUS!  I took the White Farm by Diane Ulmer Pedersen from Painted Pony Needlepoint Designs.  I was ready for Amy to give me the stitches for the rest of the piece.

Our Trip to Amy's

I had purchased this canvas from Amy's Golden Strand and so she was waiting for me in Memphis.  Gorgeous design from Diane Ulmer Pedersen through Painted Pony.  I could not wait to sit down and see what Amy would come up with.

Outline bushes, fill in with t-stich and feather stitch the branches

Those fun days at Amy's are all too short.  We are already looking forward to going next year!
