Here is one of my ongoing Heaven and Earth Designs. It is called Storykeep Forest Walk Artwork by Anne Stokes. I started at the bottom left for this one, back in December 2009. I abandoned it after just a few weeks because I thought there was too much black in the design - my picture showed a lot more dark green. I picked it up again,almost a year later and put it aside in less than a month. Wanting to finish this piece, this past year I joined the HAED SALs just to see if I could figure out what was wrong. After seeing such wonderful results with the SAL, I brought this out of my pile and began working on it again. Here is my progress as of today. Completed 6750 stitches .
Fabric: 25 ct Antique White Irish Dublin LinenThreads: DMC (90 colors)
Stitch Count: 50W x 257H stitched 2 over 1, full cross
only 6100 stitches to go.
I have always admired those who stitch these types of pieces. Glad you picked it up again and I can't wait to see your progress build.
ReplyDeleteI can't imagine having the patience for a HAED piece, but I sure love watching others tackle them!! Good luck with it!!
ReplyDeleteHeaven and Earth Designs are always impressive and I admire people who can stitch them - most of them seem huge. You've got a great start and I can't wait to see more. :)
