Re: Maggies Hardanger Projects
I think you are doing a fantastic job. I love watching these designs develop. Can't wait for your next update. How many patterns/designs do you do in the class?

Re: Maggies Hardanger Projects
One project per course. But each course is 4-5 weeks so we learn something new each week.
First level project was the navy thread on white fabric. I haven't finished that piece yet- still not sure if I will.
The second level class project is the green thread on white. Each of the bigger squares will be a different filling stitch that we'll learn each week. Otherwise what I've done so far is just a slight variation on what we learned in the first level class. Second level is about the fun stitches- the different filling stitches, adding beads, building on the basics we learned in the first level.
The orange fabric with tan thread is the project I bought after the last class of level one. I don't consider either of my class pieces as a "real" project becuase its not anything I had a say in- well, other than my thread color. While there is nothing wrong with the designs, I wouldn't have picked either one for myself. Thats why I don't really care if I finish the blue project- it's just practice.

Re: Maggies Hardanger Projects
I love this one! I think that is Ivy from WDW, I'm using that on another piece. Very pretty and your stitching looks great!

Re: Maggies Hardanger Projects
Well, while waiting for my WDW to come in for my green class project.. I went back to working on my orange piece. (It's Lucky by the way.. hopefully thats a good omen!) My mother dug out her sewing machine to stitch under the rows of satin stitching and edging. To make sure my thread ends were secure, I wove my needle through the last inch or so of fabric- not just run under the threads.
So here's my progress so far.
With my instructor, I am working out what to do in the corner boxes. It's going to need to be some type of surface stitch. I think I need the fabric in the corners to be an anchor for the diagonal hemstitching/ pulled work that will be going in the rectangle areas. I've got a few test boxes- one has a rhodes stitch which I am not so sure about yet but maybe. Shes going to bring me some instructions for other ideas next week.
So far.. the little bit of edging I have done is taking me a looong time. I am trying to keep my knots and tension consistant. And I've got a looong way to go!

Re: Maggies Hardanger Projects
Gorgeous colours! As for the corner boxes, how about a whipped spider's web rose or something like that? You can make that any size and it's lovely and textural if you use a chunky thread for the weaving.

Re: Maggies Hardanger Projects
Someone got a new camera.. so its time for an update.
Here's where I am with the orange project.
I still have not decided what I am going to do in the corners.
I've done a few test stitches on various size/ shape rhodes squares. I think I like the diamond shape. I also like one I did that is just layers of over/ under stitches.. cannot remember what the name of it is.
And I am all done with my green class project.
This was level 2.. but my first hardanger project that I have finished.
Overall, its about 8" square
