Beating Heart

The stitch guide for Beating Heart designed by Machelle Somerville is now ready!  You can get it from your LNS with your canvas or directly from me!  Have fun with this one!

Sequins

I added sequins over the pink circles!  This cute design is finished.  I am finishing up the stitch guide too!  Thanks to Machelle Somerville for a great design and allowing me to blog stitch it!

The finished heart

All of the stitches and beads are done all the way from the swirl to around the entire heart!

Doing swirls

  I stitched the swirls and added bugle beads on all of them on the side and across the top.....

And that is full!

All of the heart is filled in....onto the Swirls!

Working on the Heart

I have filled in more of the Swirl and then started down the rest of the rows on the heart itself.

And across the top!

All of the columns are worked from top to bottom on the side and all the way across the top...moving on!

Down the left side

Adding in more shine and texture working down the left side!  How fun!

And the heart

I have started the heart and have worked the fuzzy/furry parts of this too.

Stitching columns

I have started stitching the columns of color!  So far some fuzzy and furry fibers!

All the background.

The gray background around the heart is done!  Time to move on

to another fun area!  This is an 8 inch square design on 18 count so it

is working up really fast!

Working the background first

This piece is going to be a fast one!  I have three fourths of the background done!
