Charlie's Falling Star (Charlie's Ark) - Finished and framed

Post by kell »

I received 2 Charlie's Ark kits for Xmas from my Mum (Charlie's Falling Star and Birth Sampler), which I've been hankering to stitch ever since I first saw them.

The first one I'm going to do is Charlie's Falling Star. I've never done a project this big before now, but I think I'm going to love it.

It's on ivory 16-count aida and the stitched piece will measure 19.5cm x 19cm.

I've already sorted out the flosses, so tonight I'm going to grid the fabric and start stitching as soon as Xander is in bed and see how far I can get!

Well, I sorted out the flosses as soon as Xander went down for his nap yesterday and then gridded the fabric after putting him to bed at night - then I started stitching! I didn't get much done as I was very tired after a long, busy, exciting day, but here's what I did:

All gridded up and floss sorted:

This is part of the upper-left window pane - I figured as I was quite tired I'd start with a really easy bit!

Another stitching update. This is where I'm up to as of tonight:

I've finished the blue sky in this window pane, the sill of this section and also the star. So far it's an absolute joy to stitch! :)
