I made this today in preparation of the something big I'm going to start today:
My very first Qsnap cover! It was really easy. I used this tutorial here.
So what is this something big???
It's Christmas at Hawk Run Hollow (CaHRH) by Carriage House Samplings. Waaaaaay back in January I won this chart and all the threads in a giveaway from the lovely Carol of Stitching Dreams. I just searched my email inbox and saw that I ordered the custom dyed Lakeside Linens 36 ct. fabric from my Canadian LNS January 31 and I just received it in August! The fabric is huge. *gulp* It's scary to contemplate actually as I usually just stitch smalls. I'm looking forward to this project though. It's gorgeous and everytime I read the words to the carol stitched on it I hear Frank Sinatra singing...
Hopefully I'll have some progress to show you soon!

That is such a lovely design! I'm sure it will be a joy to stitch, even being that big!
Oh my goodness, that is certainly one heck of a project! I've seen it finished several times and I've got to say it's definitely worth it. Good luck, keep us posted with your progress.
I adore the fabric you used for your q-snap cover.
Woohoo! Looks like fun! Carol's came out gorgeous so that is incentive to tackling such a huge project.
Congrats on your cover! I too just found a tute, been thinking hard about making one, we'll see.
Oh you will have so much fun!!! This is probably my favorite out of all the Hawk Run Hollow designs - definitely on my list of must-stitches.
Have fun! :-)
Welcome back!
Will be awaiting the progress posts on this one
You'll have the project finished by Halloween, yes? *ducks and runs* :D
Judging by those luscious floss colours it's going to be a beauty!
You can do it!! I'm so happy your fabric arrived and you're ready to "take the plunge!" Can't wait to "re-live" the experience through watching your progress :)
Good luck with your BIG project. I have admired everyone's Hollows, but would never allow myself to be tempted. They are beautiful though. Can't wait to see your progress.
I'm looking forward to seeing your progress on this:) I stitched Shores and loved it.
I can't wait to see your progress on it! I love those Hawk Run Hallow pieces :)
