Animal Crossing - Switch Frame - update #9

Last night I continued stitching with black.

I attached the fabric to one of my scroll frames.  This will make it slower to stitch because I had to attach it sideways, so I won’t be able to watch TV while stitching because I won’t be able to see above the scroll frame.  I can attach the scroll frame to my standing frame, but then I cannot sit back (lounge) while stitching.  I have gotten spoiled stitching in hand for the past few years which I actually prefer doing, even though it does make my hand sore sometimes.

Animal Crossing - Gemstone - update #2

Last night I finished filling in the 2 green colours inside the gemstone, so now it is complete. 

I still had time so I continued the black trim around the switch frame. I will continue working on the outlines of the black switch frame and blue joy con controller  before starting the monthly characters.  I have been stitching in hand, but I noticed that when I started filling in the green joy con it is stretching my fabric and making it buckle.  I think I will move it to a scroll frame when I’m done with all of the outlines, so my filling in stitches will be straighter. 

Animal Crossing - Gemstone - update #1

Last night I stitched the black outline of the gemstone. Tonight I will fill in the gemstone with two different shades of green.

This is what my gemstone flag looks like in my game.

Animal Crossing - Animal Crossing Logo - update #12

Last night I finally finished the Animal Crossing letters and then finished all of the stitching on the New Horizons tag.  I only need to add the words New Horizons.  

Here is what the whole project looks like so far.  I noticed that the left side looks lopsided, so I am going to add a green gemstone.  It is the same one I designed for my island’s flag.  I’ll try and remember to take a photo of the flag next time I play my game.

Animal Crossing - Animal Crossing Logo - update #11

I had to start stitching the New Horizons Tag because it is right above the letters.  I can’t do the backstitching before the bottom row of the tag is done. Idecided since I had to frog the tag because I miscounted the Animal Crossing logo part, I might as well give the tag more detail like the brown sign.  The tag is supposed to be on an angle, but I couldn’t get the backstitching lines around the outside and words correct, so I used my artistic licence and made the tag straight instead of on an angle.  The island and palm tree will be stitched over 1 instead of over 2 like on the original design.

Animal Crossing - Animal Crossing Logo - update #10

I didn’t stitch very long last night.  I filled in the brown between the letter “a” and “l” and then frogged the New Horizons tag at the top right.  I hope to finish the letters tonight.

Yesterday I stitched the yellow letters “a & l” and the brown around them.  Tonight I can finish them with the backstitching..
