Friday, April 10, 2015

So before I continue with my Shore Line Village, I thought I would get started on a project that I have been wanting to get a move on for a very long time! It is the Birthstone collection by Rachel Anderson. It is the QS versions of all 12. I have started with January - Garnet.

I started on 22Count and tried 1 over 1 and was not really happy with the coverage,

So I decided to start over and stitch it 2 over 1 on the 22 Count, and was much happier with the coverage,

So that is where I have left it and now I am off to pick up Shore Line Village!

HAED Shore Line Village

Here is a long overdue update on Shore line. It took so long because it was sky.... So much sky.... got boring at times, but I kept on.. Here is the result.

The page I just finished:

And the whole piece so far!

I hope the next page does not take this long and is a little more interesting. I understand the need for the pages and pages of sky, and love the end result, but really dont like stitching them!

Cant wait to see the next page!

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.
