I am doing my little happy dance or I should say a big old happy dance - because I finished up VoHRH -
For the last two years - working on and off on this piece has really been a fun. Although I spent way more time off than on It always sat patiently for me to come back and throw some silk into a square. I even went back into the Blog posts and found out that I started this on September 5 2007 how odd is that. I also was way off my "one block a month" goal. Here is a full snap of my Village.....
Village of Hawk Run Hollow
9/5/07 - 9/14/09 at 10:04 pm to be exact!
Lambswool 32 ct Linen
rec. NPI Silk
With the approaching release of Christmas at HRH I wanted to have this one done.
The next HRH piece will be Shores....... One reason is that CaHRH has a "black" square - and I just can not do another one of those anytime soon!
Another reason for going on to Shores is that I have all the silk and the chart - now I need to trot over to NIAH and get me my linen - it will be 36ct - but will it be the Autumn gold??? I will have to decide when I get there.
That's all I got for today Sports Fans!!!!! Thank you all for commiserating about about our "No Sale" rainy Saturday!!! Your the Best!!!!
Take care,
edgar

Absolutely stunning Edgar! It turned out gorgeous! I can't wait to see how you frame it!
ReplyDeleteEdgar, Magnificent! Be sure to show it to us again after it's framed. Again, I am in awe of your capacity to produce so many project, at such a level of expertise.
ReplyDeleteOh what a fantastic finish Edgar!! I'm looking forward to seeing you progress with SoHRH.
ReplyDeleteCongrats - a well deserved "Happy Dance". It's beautiful and what an undertaking!
ReplyDeleteIts gorgeous! Just because yours is so stunning I'm going to have to break down and get this chart.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations Edgar, what an accomplishment to have stitched such a beautiful piece. It will be a treasure to have hanging on your wall. How will you have it framed?
ReplyDeleteWOW!!! CONGRATULATIONS EDGAR!!
ReplyDeleteYour Village finish is GORGEOUS!!!
Edgar~
ReplyDeleteThat is absolutely beautiful!! You did a tremendous job on your piece!! I can't wait to see what it looks like when you have it framed.
Congratulations!!
It's wonderful! What a wonderful finis. I'm going to start Shores myself once I'm done with Houses and I'm also debating the choice of linen. I can't wait to see what you pick out.
ReplyDeleteHuge congratulations on finishing VoHRH! I think you chose wisely for the next HRH piece. Shores goes much more quickly than any of the others so far. The Christmas one looks like a doozy though, doesn't it? :D As for fabric -- the Autumn Gold make the fibers pop! I love it!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on completing your beautiful Village! Such an accomplishment. Enjoy Shores. That is one piece for my future stitching along with Christmas at HRH some day too.
ReplyDeleteWow, what a beautiful piece!! Congratulations!! Keep dancing, you've earned it!!
ReplyDeleteBEAUTIFUL!! Its amazing, congrats on a huge finish!!! Cant wait to see the next wip.
ReplyDeleteCongrats on a wonderful finish Edgar! It turned out so beautiful! I love the linen you chose! Can't wait to see the linen you choose for shores! :)
ReplyDeleteBeautiful! And I bet you will find the perfect frame in your estate sale runs-or at an antique shop. Can't wait to see it!
ReplyDeleteEdgar that is an awesome finish...ta-de-da-de-dum. That was me joining you in your happy dance! :)
ReplyDeleteUn-real! I haven't seen anyone finish one of these HRHs since I began frequenting blogland!
ReplyDeleteShores is my personal favorite, and I'm so looking forward to seeing you work on it. When I saw that last black block on Village I thought, "Oh, how could he do it!? I could never do it!!" I admit I felt a little better when I saw you say that you were holding off on Christmas due to being "done" with black squares!
How big is the finished dimension?
Congratulations Edgar! What an absolutely stunning finish!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations! It looks fantastic!
ReplyDeleteHOLEY SCHMOLEY!
ReplyDeleteMethinks you should have taken the entire day off of work just so that you could have a full-on all-day party-till-you-drop Happy Dance Extravaganza!
Woo Hoo, you!
Oh congratulations there Edgar.Happy Dancing with you. That is one BAP that is now ready for framing. I look forward to seeing your choices.
ReplyDeleteHmmm, I have SOHRH kitted with DMC. Maybe a SAL?
WoooHoooo!! I know how happy you are to be done and on to the next. It looks FANTASTIC Edgar!
ReplyDeleteLook forward to seeing the fabric you are going to use.
Take Care
Beautiful work on Village. Congrats on finishing it!
ReplyDeleteCan't wait to see your work on Shores.
Edgar is is absolutely gorgeous! Wonderful job and congrats on the finish! Looking forward to watching you stitch the next one!!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations Edgar on your wonderful finish! It is truly a memorable accomplishment.
ReplyDeleteAlso thanks for all your wonderful pictures of 'your neck of the woods'. It's always fun to see them.
Sorry about the rain for your sale day. Hopefully next weekend will be better.
Wow, Edgar, your village is beautiful! Congratulations on such a big finish!
ReplyDeleteCan't wait to see which color fabric you pick for Shores (I'm not crazy about the Autumn Gold myself).
Wow! I bought the chart...that's as far as I got. Yours is beautiful. I think my first HR will be the Christmas one; I love Christmas and maybe I'll actually work on that one. But not until after this Christmas. I am trying to get 12 Shepherd's Bush stockings done this year!
ReplyDeletehooray for you
ReplyDeleteit is a beautiful work
lovely lovely
Glad to see that you have finished VoHRH! When I went to the needlework shop and looked at the pattern I kind of thought that may be for another time.I love it of course,but it's so large and I like to hop around from project to project too much.Did you see on Kathy's blog that she has another block up of CoHRH? You deserve that Happy Dance especially after the weekend you had!:)
ReplyDeleteOh my, what a finish. Congratulations, Edgar, Village looks just gorgeous!!
ReplyDeleteEdgar, your Village is awesome! It takes a lot of patience to work on a project that large. Please come visit my blog some time.
ReplyDeleteAlice

ReplyDeleteCongratulations! It's a beauty and quite an accomplishment.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations! It is gorgeous. I too want to stitch Shores...someday. Although I am very intrigued by the thought of Autumn @ HRH.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations for completing the fantastic piece Edgar.Do you mind saying about Shores which firm makes it as a kit?I am interested in it.Maybe I can find it somewhere on line to buy it.Nevermind about the sale.I am sure it will go better next time.Ariadne from Greece!
ReplyDeleteCongrats! Looks marvelous! Can't wait to see what color linen you end up getting for Shores.
ReplyDeleteIt's beautiful!! I wouldn't have the patience for something this involved...LOL
ReplyDeleteHaven't heard you mention any "flickers" lately. I always look forward to your "reviews" :)
Woohoo, great work. I am soooo jealous. Ihave the HRH patterns and I just sit and stare at them and never get bold enough to make a start, much less a finish.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations
WooHoo!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteOh Edgar, it is magnificent. Big, big congratulations on such a wonderful finish. :-)
Congratulations on finishing this extra large BAP. It's an beautiful inspiration to the rest of us who are probably two years away from finishing their BAPs. I'm sure you will pick the perfect fabric for Shores.
ReplyDeleteWooHoo! Incredible finish, Edgar! WAY TO GO!!!
ReplyDeleteHoley Moley Mother McCready! That is one fantabulous finish! I love it :) And I so want to finish mine because guess what...today I got all the threads for the Christmas one and I don't have a darn dent in the Village one and someday...my dear Edgar, I'd love to have all of them done...and wouldn't you just know it that she's coming out with an Autum in HRH...and my friend I MUST do that one! HOLY HELL!
ReplyDeleteCongrats on a fantastic finish. I'm on block #4 right now and moving to #5. I know how much stitching goes into each one of those little blocks! CHRH is motivating me to get this one finished so I can start that one, it's a beauty! Big Happy Dance for you!!!

ReplyDeleteBELLISSIMO!!!!! Sei un mito!

Congrats Edgar!!! What an accomplishment! It's fantastic!
ReplyDeleteWow, Edgar -- this is a masterpiece!
ReplyDeleteWow, congrats on getting your HRH piece finished - it's a real stunner and is going to look exquisite all framed up :D
ReplyDeleteCongrats!! I yet have to kit that one - but the christmas version might come first!
ReplyDeleteI have the Shores... kitted. One note though since you wondered about the fabric. I first got the recommended linen on 40 ct but then hesitated since I read some reviews about linen showing through... so I ordered the 36 ct version - and it's so much darker... I don't think I will be using it at all! So either I try the 40 ct or something else in 36... :)
WOOOHOO!!! I don't know how I missed this finish. Incredible. Congratulations!
