I worked on Houses of Hawk Run Hollow tonight, for the first time in quite a while.... I started House 3, which is actually my fourth house. I didn't finish the border or the verse, but somehow did manage to finish the smoke that comes out of the chimneys that I have not yet stitched. Does that make sense? It's an odd start, but I really just wanted to make sure my block lined up correctly with the other two alongside of it... yep, it does. 
Q. When you get a project professionally framed do you get glass inserted
into the frame? Why or why not?
A. Yes, I usually do use glass when I take my projects to the framer. I am very paranoid about a piece getting dirty after it is framed. I prefer the non-glare glass. My husband is a smoker and I have six long haired cats. I don't want smoke or cat hair all over my finished projects. Not to mention dust....
I got in a DVD from ebay today at a bargain basement price.... one of Meg Ryan's less popular but very intriguing comedies, Addicted to Love :-)
Stitched on today: Houses of Hawk Run Hollow
I love the little houses in this one ... but I still find the wording a little creepy!
ReplyDeleteCarol, great start with your fourth house. I'm working on my HOHRH a bit every week and at the end of the month I'll post my progress.
ReplyDeleteHOHRH looks great. Once I get going on mine (who knows when that will be though) we'll have to compare the look of the VC silks versus the NPI silks.
ReplyDeleteI haven't seen this project in awhile ... lovely smoke!
ReplyDeleteGreat start on your 4th house. I love that you did the smoke without the chimneys!
ReplyDeleteWonderful start on your next house. This is such a pretty piece!
ReplyDeleteDoes the non-glare glass or regular glass make much of a difference?
ReplyDeleteI didn't start out adding the glass; however, like you, with pets, glass is the only way to go.
I had heard using glass makes the project fade over time -- but, I don't know if that is fact or opinion. I have not noticed any fading on my pieces (yet)
