Heartz Completed!

Hello there!

Just a quick post today to show the Heartz designed by Eileen Hoare and stitched in her silk threads.  I've finally completed all of them, only a little bit off the SAL schedule but it's good to have them finished!

Yes, it does need a bit of an iron!

Colours are as follows:

Pansy, Deep Jungle, Antique Gold & Silver, LadyBug
Sea Green, Amazon Parrot, Heather, 'Life, The Universe & Everything'
Galaxy, Ocean, Autumn Equinox, Hazel
Candyfloss, Koi, Robin's Nest, Blackberry

The chart and threads can be found on Eileen's site here:

I'm really pleased with the way the designs turned out, and with it being a SAL it has been fun seeing other people stitching the same heart in a different colour.  I can also highly recommend Eileen's silk threads, they have been so lovely to stitch with and the photo really doesn't do the colours justice.  I still have plenty of thread left to play around with too!

Heartz 1-6

Progressing pretty nicely on Eileen's Heartz... Here are 1-6, stitched in:
Pansy, Deep Jungle, Antique Gold & Silver, Ladybug
Sea Green, Amazon Parrot

Having a blast stitching them (although I did make a bit of a mess of the Amazon Parrot one but think I've managed to sort it).

Heartz 1 & 2

I've been working on the Heartz stitch-a-long parts 1 and 2 during last week with the silk threads I ordered from Eileen.  I'm enjoying watching everyone's progress especially since people have chosen different colours.  And I'm very much enjoying working with the silk - it feels so nice and luxurious and it doesn't knot anywhere near as badly.

Here are my heartz from the first week - stitched in Pansy and Deep Jungle - the colours are much more vibrant in real life.  I'm looking forward to starting on 3 and 4 today.
