Gift of the Eagle Feather,WIP, update Oct09

Post by Pooky »

Hi :D
I thought I'd introduce you all to my newest project, here he is...
Image
(hope this works), he's called Gift of the Eagle Feather, bought the kit ages ago, when DH and I decided that Las Vegas, and Grand Canyon would be part of our Honeymoon and we'd see the Native American reserve; thought he'd be a nice reminder, but we've been married over a year and I'd not even sorted the threads until last night.
I have literally just started him, he involves techniques I've never used and lots of combined colour stitching, after sorting all the threads last evening I only did about 10 rows (of cream on cream) so I'll let you all have a peek when there is something visable to see.
Looking forward to keeping up with everyone's SAL

Looking forward to seeing your progress on this! I've stitched a version of it myself - I had a printed fabric version where the ground and the sky was already coloured and I had to just stitch the Brave and the Eagle. I've seen a few different versions of the project. Be sure to keep us updated with photos of your stitching!

I have stitched this one a few years ago but I did a bit of a change on it to suit my own style. He is a great stitch I really enjoyed my time with him. Look forward to seeing your work. :dance:
