I have completed 4 of the 7 books. 

Books 1, 2 & 3 complete.

Book 7 showing all 7 horcruxes.

I am working on book 6 right now.

SYOA - Harry Potter Books - update #7

Friday night I started added the images to represent the book titles. I decided to stitch by colour. I stitched with black floss (Harry’s glasses, Riddle’s diary, cauldron, deathly hallows) then I used a yellow gold colour (horcruxes - corner of diary, locket Hufflepuff cup, ring).

Saturday night I added more black (dementor), then yellows (moon).

Last night I finished yellows and greys(moon and clouds). Then had to frog the dementor because it didn’t line up with the moon. It was only when I started stitching the green (basilisk) that I realized I was a row short on all of the books. That is why the moon and dementor didn’t line up. I’m not frogging all of the books. I’ll adjust the images in the space to work.

SYOA - Harry Potter Books - update #6

I accomplished a lot of stitching yesterday.  I finished book 5, then started and finished book 6.

I even had time to start book 7.  I can’t wait to finish this last book outline, then I can start stitching the images to represent the title of each book.

SYOA - Harry Potter Books - update #5

I made great progress on Book 5 last night.  Plan to finish it today because I’m spending the day cross stitching.

SYOA - Harry Potter Books - update #4

Last night I finished the outline on book 1 and started the small group of flying letters on the letter side of the phoenix.

I have completed 2 1/2 letters of the 6 in this group.

I love how it looks with the books at the bottom and letters at the top.

SYOA - Harry Potter Books - update #3

I finished the outline of book 2 and started book 1.  Sorry my photo is a little wonky, it was taken early this morning.  They are stitching up fast because I designed them all the same just changed the colours for each book.

I finished the top of book 3, thought the whole book was done and started on the top of book.  I’ll work on the bottoms another night.

SYOA - Harry Potter Books - update #1

I finished backstitching all around Book 3 and added some more purple to the book.

SYOA - Harry Potter Books - book 4 outline completed

I completed the outline on book 4 Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire.  I decided not to try and back stitch the words under Harry Potter.  Instead I stitched an “x” for each letter in the book titles and also at the bottom for the author’s name J K Rowling.

I decided to work on the books at the bottom, starting in the middle with book 4.  I plan to do all of the tops, bottoms and outline of each book.  Then I will fill in each book cover design after.     

Thank you Jo and Clare for your opinion about the flying letters.  Yes, I also think the letters will be worth the effort to stitch them.
