Last weekend, my husband and I took a long car trip to visit my daughter. I often fall asleep in the car on these long car rides so I brought Frank along to keep me awake! As you can see, I have finished almost all of the cross stitching at the bottom of the "window" and have started to do some of the backstitching. It is starting to look like a stained glass window rather than just a bunch of squares.
There is a lot of backstitching on this counted cross stitch picture. I love the way it is starting to make the squares look like they belong together.
Here is a photo of the original Tree of Life Window from the Darwin Martin House in Buffalo, New York. You can see that this will be a long term project...
Today, we are hosting a graduation BBQ for our daughter who recently graduated from University. It is unlikely that I will be doing any slow Sunday stitching today but hopefully, there will be some time for stitching this week. I am linking up to Kathy's Slow Sunday Stitching link-up. It is always fun to see what everyone else is up to!
I had to click on your link as soon as I recognized the stained glass window. You have made great progress. This is going to be so pretty.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations to your daughter. This project is really coming along and you are right, the back-stitching somehow starts to hold it all together.
ReplyDeleteI love seeing everyone else's projects also. Beautiful window! I lived in an Illinois town where there were several Frank house and I have visited some in Wisconsin! Love his work, should be a fun cross stitch project!
ReplyDeleteIt's coming along beautifully! :) Enjoy your family time today :)

ReplyDeleteOh, I LOVE Frank Lloyd Wright's windows! Your cross-stitch rendition is looking great so far. I'm looking forward to seeing your progress on this! Congratulations on your daughter's graduation.
ReplyDeleteFun to see your progress on the Frank window!
ReplyDeleteCongrats to your daughter!
Hi! My mother used to do cross stitching. She loved it. I have tried it once, but I kept loosing my thread. That is going to be beautiful when you get finished with it. And that stained glass window is beautiful too. Congrats to your daughter. Have a nice day!

Looks like a beautiful project to be doing with your daughter. The pillow work is looking really amazing and I can not tell you how cool the glass is looking. Keep up all the hard work you have put in and thank you so much for sharing this. I will be starting a similar project with my husband very soon.
