Anniversaries of the Heart Start

Well, I decided to be bad and start the Anniversaries of the Heart project. And I guess I was being punished for being bad because I spent pretty much all day yesterday ripping what I had stitched the day before. I'm finally back on track today and this is how it's looking...

I decided to go with 40 ct. Meadow Rue instead of Pearled Barley. It just wasn't dark enough for the January pattern to show up. The Meadow Rue is also very close in color to the recommended linen - R&R Olde Town Blend (I found a piece in my stash and matched it up).

I also got a couple more market items from Down Sunshine Lane today.

With Thy Needle and Thread "Mary's Best Handework" and Blackbird Designs "Honeysuckle Manor"

Here is just one of the many things I love from the Honeysuckle Manor book.

Well, I'd better get dinner started! Write soon! :)



Edited to add: Total stitch count of all the houses on one piece of fabric... 387 x 261. Each design is 75 x 85 with 3 stitches in between each design. Two bonus charts are going to be released in October.
