Well, April pretty much sucked a lot--sickness, death, AND taxes!--although Dad is doing very well after his surgery (thanks for everyone's well wishes!!). So, not as much got done on the map as I would have hoped, but I did get South Africa and Madagascar finished, so that's something!

Here's the full thing:

And here's the close-up of what I've done since March 23rd:

I'm hoping that May is a vast improvement, and I'm keeping my fingers crossed that I can finish not only this page, but the next one as well. I'm still on track to finish off the whole thing by the end of September, which would be 19 months after I started, and 17 months of actual working on it. Here's hoping!

I'm glad to hear that your Dad is doing well after his surgery and sorry that you still had an April filled with death and taxes. Hoping May is a vast improvement for you and your family.

Post by Kathy_A »

Well, I finished off Row Three (Page 21) last night--woohoo!!!

Here it is (along with a bit of work started on the final row...again, woohoo!). Sorry for the wrinkles, but I'm not going to wash it until I finish:

That is utterly brilliant. You must be, deservedly, so proud of yourself.

What more can I say other than 'Give us a photo when it's done.'?

All the best with it

:applesauce: :applesauce: Perfectly stitched! Awesome detail! Fantastic in every way! :whoop:
Since I'm running out of adjectives (lovely and beautiful don't describe how amazing this piece is) I will say Congratulations on another row finished and how wonderful to be on the last row! A finish is in sight!
