July IHSW and tutorial post

So this IHSW once again Avarice got in there. I just love stitching this piece. And the bottom half of her face is now complete!

I started carrying threads/parking/whatever your preferred choice of name for this part hence the loose threads.





Isn't that face amazing? A testament to the talent of Marta Dahlig (original artist) and Michele Sayetta's charting.

Speaking of HAED I have been very fortunate. I consider myself incredibly lucky to have received a further 2 charts through the RAK programme. So to add to my stash I have Dahlig's Umbrella Sky and another piece called Cleaning House!. Some further Dahligs have been released and they are now already on my list LOL. That takes my Dahlig stash up to 5 with about 7 on the WL!

No new start this month. I am on holiday later on in August though so I might get the new one started up then!!

Oh and check out my Tutorial page - I uploaded the method for my framing of Wiz

Til the next update!

  5. That's really coming out - I didn't get the sins, but I have fallen for some of Dahlig's other pieces - this makes me all the more excited to be stitching them!

  8. I love Dahlig too, Nicola. I have at least nine of her charts. The seven deadly sins plus a couple more. (I think I have more than two more, but I don't remember for sure.) She's an awesome artist. Grats on the RAKs too. That's awesome!!
