Today I was charting a Rhodes Heart to specifically fit the Heart design for a sweet little canvas, "To My Valentine" by Fiori (F-3639).

The Fiori Valentines Garland Club is offered thru The Nimble Needle-Atlanta. Stacy, the owner, did a great job selecting the stitches for the 5 canvases in the series. Each model is stitched to perfection. They are just the right size to be hung together in a garland... or imagine on a white wreath or white tree. Love!
You can read more about the Fiori Valentines Garland Club on The Nimble Needle-Atlanta website.

Today's Heart has these dimensions: 21 threads width and 18 threads height.
Working over the original diagram, I set up the grid.
Then I started to lay the stitches onto the artwork in the computer... just as if I was stitching with needle and thread.
I changed each stitch to a different color so I could see the progression.
The last step was to remove the red Heart and to add the stitching sequence numbers.
Try this on other Rhodes Hearts you might run across. Crayons, colored pencils, markers are fun to use if you aren't in front of the computer.
Until the next time... HUGS! Robin
I love Rhodes Hearts. What software do you use to do this? I usually just use graph paper when I am trying to work something like this out.
ReplyDeleteHi Sylvia. Nice to hear from you. I use both Pages and Canvas for charting purposes. Thanks!
