Week 2, babyyyy! This week, we're finishing up the front facade panel of our house purse. This includes the detail stitching of windows, the door, and plants. 

Join our new Discord community! This is a place to discuss techniques, share progress, and troubleshoot any issues! You can join our community here. 

As a reminder, here's our roadmap:

Week 2, Sept 25: Stitch the front facade panel
Week 3, Oct 2: Stitch the rear facade panel
Week 4, Oct 9: Stitch roofs and handle
Week 5, Oct 16: Stitch sides
Week 6, Oct 23: Stitch bottom, cut and sew lining
Week 7, Oct 30: Assemble, sew in lining, stitch exposed edges

Again, if you fall behind or something comes up, don't worry. I'm not a cop. Catch up when you can and don't stress. This is needlepoint! It's supposed to be fun!

I would LOVE to see your progress - use the hashtag #feralhouse and tag me @feralnotions when posting on Instagram or Tiktok!  

Ok, here is your week 1 assignment:

1. Finish your background and beam stitching. Add in the door, windows, and door overhang.

2. Add grass and door hardware details. Add grass over your green background stitching. You don't have to follow the exact pattern for this - go wild and make it yours! There is a video for adding stitches over background stitches. 

3. Make french knot flowers. These little guys can be tricky, so practice on your stitch card before adding to the main canvas. Definitely watch the video on them for pointers. 

Happy stitching, see you next week for the rear facade!
