Shauna's Queen's Croquet Ground

Hello all! It's been a few months since I've posted but I do have some progress to show. This is 4 pages of Queen's Croquet Ground by Scott Gustafson. 2 more pages and I get to move to the next row where you really get into the meat of the design. I love the flock of flamingoes and you can just see the head of a statue. I'm really enjoying this chart.

Queen of Hearts - Pages 45 thru 49 - May 17, 2013

I finished up page 45 this afternoon and thought I would post a progress pic. 2 more pages and the bottom row will be done! Yeah!

I need to change to something else though, for a while. Tired of the black and red! :) I really want to start Mask of Colors I, but was just RAK'd Bird-Song and I also have several other HAEDs that I want to start, I have 8 HAED designs and can't decide......

Happy Stitching everyone!!!

I'm behind on Buddy Requests

Just a quick note. You may have noticed that I haven't deleted anybody yet. I'm overwhelmed with the Bulletin Board, Face Book page, etc. Also trying to fit a life in there somewhere. Getting the yard ready for Summer (if Summer ever makes it to the East Coast). As if all that wasn't enough, my laptop is acting up. So if you've sent me a request to become a buddy and haven't heard back from me as yet, don't worry. I'll be getting back to the admin of this blog soon. I will do a cleanup of posting members, and I will go through the Buddy List in order, I just need more time.
Thanks in Advance for your understanding.

How to Carry Threads
This is really easy...it takes a while to get used to though....and your back will look terrible...this you will have to live with...One thing...You will be working your 10 x 10 grids in colums...it makes it easier...
1. Start with a 10 x 10 grid..
2. Find your first symbol...and stitch all of that symbol in your 10 x 10 grid....When finished...
3. Find the same symbol on the 10 x 10 grid below it...take your needle and bring your thread up like you are going to make the first 1/2 of the X ...but don't do it...just unthread your needle and lay the thread down..
4. Go back to the first grid you were working on...and stitch the next symbol the same way....when finished bring your thread down....
5. continue each symbol until your first 10 x 10 grid is finished....
6. start the next 10 x 10 grid ....you should have thread there already for you to pick up and stitch...

Tent Stitching (Wikipedia)
Tent stitch variants
There are three types of tent stitch, all producing the same appearance on the front of the canvas but each worked in a slightly different way and having particular characteristics, uses, benefits and drawbacks. These variants of tent stitch are known as basketweave, continental and half cross tent stitches:
Basketweave tent stitch - The basketweave form of tent stitch is worked in diagonal rows up and down the canvas. The yarn on the back of the canvas has a typical basketweave appearance, with alternating horizontal and vertical stitches. Basketweave is the best stitch to use for covering large areas of canvas as it does not distort the canvas as the other two forms of tent stitch do.
Continental tent stitch - Continental stitch is worked horizontally or vertically across the canvas. On the back of the work, the stitches appear diagonally across two threads. This method uses more yarn than half cross stitch tent stitch but is more hardwearing.
Half cross tent stitch - Half cross stitch is worked horizontally or vertically across the canvas. On the back of the work, the stitch appears vertical or horizontal, not diagonal, and crosses only one thread. This method uses less yarn than other stitches but is not very durable as coverage on the back of the canvas is a little thin.
