Gentle Friends, stitching away on Christmastide here's a snaperoo...
... the house looks a bit wonky but that's just because I didn't straighten it up. I've made one change so far... the window panes called for the darkest brown for the fill colour. I thought that's too much brown so I looked around in the NPI stash and found a nice dark charcoal colour and no am very happy with the results.

I was digging around in my stash and found three parts of a series from LHN called "Farmhouse Christmas." They are "Horsin' Around," "Little Red Barn" and " Grandpas Pick-up." I think I started to collect them and became less enamored of the series as it progressed so I only got the first three charts. But, there might be someone out there that would like these three charts... If you'd like to have them please leave a comment on this Post and I'll have the old Hag Claw pick a winner this weekend - no fuss no muss. Make sure I can get in touch with you if you win.

Nice progress, like the windows. I have been known (only once) to frog stitching because I thought I had done something wrong. Only to discover my fabric was not straight in the hoop! Be well.
ReplyDeleteI love the symmetry of the bricks/windows... eager to follow along on this one!
ReplyDeleteI'll remember your charcoal window trick, because I, too, have found windows too dark as designed.
ReplyDeleteI would love to have the 3 LHN Christmas charts.
Edgar, I have all nine charts and am currently working on them. Will send you a picture when I'm finished and if you've changed your mind by then, I'll send you all the charts.
ReplyDeleteVery neat stitching, I like this design and how you have changed the floss colour. I often choose a very dark grey or brown for backstitching on a design as sometimes black seems too harsh. I would love to take a LHN Christmas chart off your hands.
ReplyDeleteI really like the color change on the windows. I am finally changing colors when I stitch. I always stitched what the chart suggested. Have a great week. I would love to stitch the LHN Christmas Charts.
ReplyDeleteGreat progress on your piece. I think the house looks nice. I would love to be entered in your giveaway.

Your Christmas project is coming along very well. I do like the colors you have chosen.
ReplyDeleteHouse construction is looking good, Edgar! Still love the reindeer in this one!
ReplyDeleteI'm not entering the giveaway, I just wanted to take a moment to say how much I enjoy your blog. Stitching, baking, and a slice of life in San Francisco! I've never visited, but would love to one day. I hope your holiday season is wonderful :-)
ReplyDeleteI am really loving the colors on this one Edgar...Yours look so much richer (and more appealing) than I recall seeing on the pattern photo. Generous of you to offer up the charts, but please do not enter my name....I have quite a few Christmas "littles" already. I am sure there are others who will make better use of them. ~Robin~
