Originally, I had intended to stitch a group of four of these heart canvases by Pippin, but after doing the math I realized that the pillow would be disproportionately long. So I cut back to two canvases.
This is the finish of the 2nd canvas. I completed the background using the diagonal mosaic. There had been a small white block behind the heart that I covered up since I felt it was too choppy. Not to mention that I didn't know what stitch to put there! The white bubbles I did in a variation of the round Rhodes stitch.
I managed to palm off the background of the Silent Night canvas to Macy for her shop stitching. I had planned to finish it last summer and didn't. I have visions of other projects being finished by her speeding fingers.
Looking forward to seeing how you finish the hearts as a pillow. Your pillow finishes are always wonderful! And go, Turbo Fingers, Macy!
