First Harvest Finish!

Finally finished stitching up my own work last night. I needed to fill in the border that I had made for it, and in doing so, I found a couple of things that needed to be changed. Just a couple of tiny OOPSIE! It's inevitable I suppose. I got mad at myself because it wasn't perfect right out of the gate, but then again, I thought of all the designers where I had to write down corrections to patterns I have and then I didn't worry too much. I could be in worse company, yea? :)


Corrections can be found here .



Here are my stitchy notes and pictures!



Design: First Harvest

Well, I need to boogie. It's laundry day today and I think I might be coming down with a cold to boot. :(. Hope everyone is having a good day! :)

First ever published design is now up!

It's finally completed! With a border and everything! Woohoo! Many, many, MANY thanks to Kelly (Annabelle) of the SMO boards who donated her valuable time and talent to convert my pen and paper chart into a readable pdf file for me. It was very, very sweet of her to do this and I am so appreciative!


Here is the post with the chart:

If you stitch the design, please send me photos. I would be honored if anyone actually stitched it and sent me pics of their work!



Happy July 4th to those in the US and Happy Canada Day to all of the Canadians out there!

I decided to stitch the tomatoes on the trellis with a mix of cross stitches and the dreaded French knots, with long stitches, whole and half cross stitches for the vines and leaves.





I chronicled the journey I took into making this sampler on my new blog, L'atelier de l'archange . Please feel free to let me know what you think! :)
