Gentle Friends, so, I forgot to take a photo of SP Sampler last night but got a quick shot this morning before leaving the house... so it's still "snapped" up and a little sloppy...
... I've started on the house and as I stitch I'm choosing to use the darkest parts of the overdyed floss as I go along to replicate the pink-marble stone used to build Swan Pond. I'll probably go back and frog out the chimney cap as it looks a bit light to me. Also, after the house is completed I'll do the charted backstitching. I do like the "limestone" quoins, stringer and headers.

Looking good!
ReplyDeleteHouse construction is looking good, Edgar! Have a wonderful week!
ReplyDeleteThe chimney caps would be clay tiles, so a lighter color might be just the thing.
ReplyDeleteDon't you just love to do houses? So many possibilities... Backstitching does make them more distinct. SP is coming
ReplyDeletealong so well. Carry on.
What a detailed job you are doing on that house. I think it is worth the effort and will look just right!
ReplyDeleteLooks great!
ReplyDeleteLooks good, I didn't know you were a Q snapper!
ReplyDeleteDearest Edgar: Beautiful progress, I too would change the chimney color.
