Built a Townhouse on Labor Day



Remember this?  I was in the mood to work on it over the long weekend.  I had to dig her out of storage.  I took this canvas to Amy's last year.  Since I am about to go to Amy's again soon,  I thought I had better get busy!  The canvas is by Susan Roberts and is called Townhouse Row.  I love it. 


Here I had some trouble with the band.  The bottom band wasn't two canvas threads tall like the top.  After stitching it like painted I didn't like it.  I tore out the wall stitch enough to add the double band.  Tedious but I am happy with the balanced look.  The wall stitch is Cobblestone stitch done vertically. The street stitch is an extended version of the Willow stitch.  I am wondering if I made it too big.
