Hearts SAL - FINISH - 22.07.13

I'm not posting this on the day I actually finished it as my WIPocalypse post also went out on the same day.
So on 22nd July I finished the Hearts SAL from Thread Pickerz Silkz.

Here is my latest update on Damask by Jodyri Designs.

WIPocalypse - 22.07.13

Damask by Jodyri Designs as of 26.06.13

Heart SAL - Thread Pickerz Silkz - Part 6 completed 26.06.13

Perpetual Calendar Part 7 completed as of 05.07.13

So I've completed the next part in the perpetual calendar the number 2

I changed the background colours a lot from what was charted this time.  I looked for two of my hand dyed threads that I loved and that contrasted with one another.  The main background colour is Salamander and the blue/green squares and circles is Blue Agave both of which are from Jodyri Designs.

I've also made some more progress on my model stitch Damask.  I've used a whole skein of thread now.  I'm trying to make texture in the design with the direction of my stitches.

Keep stitching and smiling
