I'm coming to this late but wonder if you are still progressing on it. I'd love to know as what you have done so far is exquisite and I can't wait to see more. The colours in it are beautiful.

Hi everyone.

Happy New Year to you all and hope it's going to be a great stitching year.

I thought I would do an update on my Chatelaine, not made much progress but hoping to catch up on lost time.
I am finding the butterflies quite tedious as the fabric is so fine but I will not give up :roll:. Think I need lots of encouragement please!!!!!!

WOW you are going really great with this detailed design. Hang in there, it really is worth all the stress of setting those tiny stitches in place. :whoop:
