A Finish: Diamond Painting!

 Hello, All!

I finished my diamond painting last night!  Here it is:

I ran a rolling pin over it to make sure all the diamonds were laying flat.  I plan to seal it sometime today.  I will eventually frame it, just not sure when.

Happy Stitching!

Update on Diamond Painting

 Hi Everyone!

This will be the last update I do on my first diamond painting.  The next post about it will be a finish!

When I was a bit over halfway done with this, I flipped it around and worked it from the top towards the center.  I did this because it was getting hard for me to work on it on a flat table.  

After I got to about 175 total rows done, I got to the point where I’d see a color that just had a few scattered spots left so I filled them in.  Next thing I knew, I was working strictly by color!  At the moment, there are 5 colors left.  Here’s what it looks like now:


I’ve filled in the rest of the mountain since taking this picture.

Happy Stitching!

A Finish: Heirloom Christmas Sampler

Hello Everyone!

I'm making progress on completing projects!  My latest finish is Heirloom Nativity Sampler from The Victoria Sampler.

This is stitch on 32ct. fabric in an antique blue color, not sure of the actual color name.


This finish means that I have 3 scroll frames that are empty (gasp!).  I've already chosen the 3 new patterns that I'm going to add to my rotation:

  • Birds on a Wire (Heaven and Earth [retired])
  • Kringle Comes to Town (2017 limited edition from HAED)
  • Father Christmas (Curtis Boeringer)
Happy Stitching!

Hello People!

I have an update on my first diamond painting.  I’ve been working on it a little bit every day.  Here’s my progress:


I’ve been enjoying working on it, but even more so since I got storage for the “diamonds”.  I got two of these cases off Amazon and I LOVE them!


Here’s one of them with the diamonds I’m using on this project:


As you can see, there are a couple of bottles without labels.  Those are excess of the color to the left of each of them. Well, that’s all for now.

Happy Stitching!
