A Heart Remembers is one of the newest releases by Blackbird Designs. The 52-page book contains some of the older OOP charts and some new ones. And some of the last designs by Barb Adams.
One of the older series of OOP charts included is the Loose Feathers Mystery Sampler, a collection of 5 charts. I stitched it back in 2014.
The first one I am stitching is A Heart Remembers. I chose a piece of 16ct Wren aida by Picture This Plus with the called for colors.
I decided to stitch the entire border first to make sure I had enough of the floss – Classic Colorworks Stormy Nights and Carolina Cecil.
And the border meets, and I did not run out of floss. Used DMC for the house since I was not sure I had enough of the Uniform Blue. And I added my parent’s initials and the year they were married. Now to order a frame for it.
I decided to use a simple black frame I ordered from Amazon. This one has a deeper rabbet than the ones I usually get from them. I wish it had come in other colors but am happy with how it looks. Now where to hang it.
You are off to a good start on this lovely piece, Pat. Wishing you a blessed Easter.
That is beautiful!
