Diamonds on the Wall

Two Finishes

Last month I promised to show the end result of Colette's diamond painting framed.  Dad framed it not long back.  Eventually the hook will be replaced by a picture rail, so it will only be on the hook temporarily!

Update on Butterfly Series Release Plan

I’ve decided to release two different sized charts for each butterfly. One at about 181 stitches wide and the other at about 81 stitches wide (height will vary). The larger size will have be full crosses only and the small size will include backstitching and fractional stitches. The small series will be made into a special Butterfly Sampler once the whole set of butterflies have been released. This will be a long-term project as I am designing 16 different butterflies with the aim to release one butterfly a month. As releases progress I also will set up packs and specials for purchasing multiple charts.

New items will also be posted on Facebook as well if you wish to follow along there: https://www.facebook.com/The-Girl-that-Stitches-604247833381394/?modal=admin_todo_tour
Or if you prefer I'm also on Instagram!: https://www.instagram.com/megan_joelle_designs/

      That looks just breathtaking, that huge diamondpainting. Very impressive in that frame.
      Nice to see you enjoy the diamond painting.
      It looks like it is slowely taking over your stitching hahaha.
      It is a very nice hobby. Enjoy.

      The finished one is quite large! I should have measured it to give you a clearer idea of it's size. The diamond painting has taken over my stitching for the moment lol. I will get back into the stitching soon though, just enjoying switching things up at the moment! :)

Nocturne

Nocturne It's been a long time since Nocturne has seen the light of day!  This project was one of the three pieces with the highest amount of votes, when everyone voted for the projects they wanted to see more progress on.   I really wanted to complete page 8 for this blog but I'm only about halfway through.  The chart I'm working on is the old version.   After discovering the art was re-charted, I put the wip aside for awhile to decide whether or not to restart with the newer chart.  I've decided to continue working on the original chart though.  I've already restarted this one before and don't have the heart to restart it again, especially since quite a decent amount has been completed.  Anyway, the newer chart may blend better and have more depth but I still think the original is pretty!  They both have their strengths and weaknesses. Mock-up Comparison; Old Chart on the Left and New Chart on the Right: Added Mini Mock-up for Chart Comparison.  Left:

Thread Bear

I’ve made a start on The Enchanted Manor by Josephine Wall. This one is being stitched on 14 count aida to boost the finished size of the crop.  I've never stitched on such a low count before and was curious to try it out! I’ve been working on this on and off over the past couple of months.  I'm using 4 over 1 full cross on dark colours and 3 over 1 full cross on everything else. Progress since December: I love it how Josephine painted a koala bear in the corner of this piece. The koala is native to Australia (my home country), which gives this piece a special resonance for me. Did you know that despite the fact they are often called Koala bears, Koalas aren't related to bears?! They are actually more closely related to kangaroos and wombats! They are often referred to as a koala bear because they have an obvious resemblance to a teddy bear… Currently I'm about halfway through the first page: Wishing everyone a safe and fun time over the Easter period

A Rainbow Checkerboard

Diagonal Challenge #1 There are six challenges to be posted on the Official HAED Facebook page this year. The first challenge involved stitching 1000 stitches in 10x10 diagonal blocks. I pulled out Rainbow Girl for this and it was nice to change things up and work differently to normal! A Game of Chess! I don't usually park but it made sense to do so when working in blocks.   Even though lines are not meant to form working diagonally, I still felt slightly apprehensive about the possibly of this happening.  I figured parking may lessen the risk by helping to even out the tension between squares. Before:  After: Although I kind of like the checkerboard effect, overall I didn’t take to this way of stitching and found it more time consuming than my usual preferred cross country method.  I didn’t enjoy being confined to working in blocks...  Having to stay in the box drove me crazy lol!  I did like the fact I wasn’t reaching for floss bobbins much when working
