I have being reading and hearing about the snow storms in the US. How terrible. I hope you are all safe and warm over there. I watched the President Obama and his car cavalcade driving along the road or should I say sliding. Oh and there was, I think, an army veteran who had adapted his wheelchair to have a snow-plough on the front and caterpillar tyres on to help keep the pavements clear of snow. Ingenius!!

Well I'm back to show you my progress on the Drawn Thread piece I'm working on at the moment. I have spent what seems like forever stitching the house and it does dominate the middle of the piece. Not in a bad way of course, more of a focal point I suppose. All that white ... stitch after stitch after stitch. Still the house is built now and I can go on and so the garden landscaping on the other side.
The Winter Garden - The Drawn Thread.
36ct Pearl Grey Edinburgh Linen.
Using recommended silk threads.

Until next time ......

Oh, what a glorious house! And those trees--Cynthia designs the best trees, doesn't she? I really love this piece, Andrea--especially the cardinals :)
ReplyDeleteYes, there have been some unbelievable photos of the storm damage. We were so lucky in our part of Pennsylvania as we were on the periphery and only got 4 inches of snow... My poor son in DC is buried under 24 inches and the city has basically shut down.
Your stitching us always perfect and amazing! Can't wait to see this completed!
ReplyDeleteOh, that's just gorgeous, Andrea! I love all those delicate stitches around the house.

Gorgeous, your Winter Garden. I don't know what it is but these DT pieces all have a special look and you can recognize them among hundreds of designs. This conifer tree is one of her typical trees, so lovely. Yes, stitching houses always takes some time, but when they are finished, they are always so beautiful.
ReplyDeleteThis piece is stunning and your work is as always, immaculate. Continued Happy Stitching!
ReplyDeleteIt may have taken you a while, but it is absolutely gorgeous! And love the right side with the tree and flower pot--they just pop! You do wonderful work!! Hugs!
