Podolyanka's Finishes 2020

[Serinde]

Beautiful and useful. And I do have a soft spot for your exquisite hemstitching, too.

[Podolyanka]

Thank you all kind hearts who were supporting this ASAP project. It is now ready to be washed and ironed and sent off today.


I am off to start the Hunting for Ducks from Charivna Myt (Magic Moment).



I do not like the threads, even though they are supposed to be from Madeira,and have taken a larger piece of 14 count Aida as the one in the kit looked too "modest" in size to me, the rest will be done in absolute accordance with the instruction. The second kit in my life with 14ct Aida- usually they use 16 ct. Forgot to tell that the chart is in one large piece(nearly 4 A4), absolutely clear, so no difficulties with it. I have never seen a better chart- all as I like- colour symbol and the key organized by someone who has a great analitical mind. I am really proud that Ukrainian designers have done such a good job. Watch this place for WIPs, you know it wont take long before a dog or two can be seen in threads(wont die of modesty, I know ).

First impressions: the first stitches did look as I suspected- very bald. But the more stitches, the "better filled" the area looks, if you see what I mean.

The threads behave themselves better than in 3 strands.And in general, stitching in two strands is much easier than in 3.
The main conclusion: the designers know exactly what they demand and why.

Well, the Magic Sofa is now installed. And I have and for us all.

Sounds good. I am so ready to sit and watch this one progress. I'm sure it will be as beautiful and perfect as usual!

In reality it is not "wavy", I dont know what is wrong with the photo.

Heck...is that the second world map? If so well done!
I really must pay more attention to the Forum. I seem to be missing out on things

The dogs are finished. Now the grass and reeds will be nothing as compared.

[Squirrel]

WOW That is amazing to see how much you have done in such a short time. The dogs sure do look very true to breed that is for sure. A HUGE WELL DONE

PS Thanks for sending me the photo too.

[Mabel Figworthy]

They have come out beautifully!

[Serinde]

Haven't they just!

[Garnet]

Wow you have stitched such a lot in such a short time. Your needle must be red hot!

The dogs are lovely.

Can't wait to see more.

Three very different and breathtaking works of art, Lyudmila. The map will be an heirloom. The colours of the towels makes one happy, just looking at it: such vibrant, happy colours. DH just saw your dogs and said : "Wow, excellent and that even before the outline". The shading is so effective.
Well done!

[Podolyanka]

Thank you. Kind words of support do matter. I worried the picture would be "bald", it is not, but those 1 strand crosses are so hard on my eyes!
Plus there are literally not stitched areas on the dogs. The designers meant them that way, but I dont like the Aida with its holes jumping into eyes. Any suggestions?
