Forest Chapel update 1/12

JazzeyBear · Post by **JazzeyBear** » Fri Apr 12, 2013 5:12 am

I've started a new project for a friends mom. She loves everything and anything by Thomas Kinkade, so I was able to pick the project but in the end it'll go to a different home. It's called The forest chapel, worked on fourteen count aida (would rather have a different fabric but its impossible) and the directions call for 3 over 1, I'm back stitching as I go (since there's a lot of it) and I'll be getting a lot of practice with my French knots

.

This is what it's suppose to look like

And this is what I've done so far

Great start! Your friend's mom is going to be delighted with this piece. With large projects like this that have a lot of back stitch, I always did the bs as I went. Partly so that I didn't have all of it at once and partly because I love how it often makes the details pop. And you will be a French knot expert afterwards too!

That is really beautiful and your stitching is so neat too. Your friends mum will fall in love with it I'm sure. Love a lot of the Thomas Kincaid designs but I already have way too much stash sitting there waiting to be done. I will enjoy watching you do it instead.

Just a little bit of an update.

It's so hard to pick which color to use next.
