Wow.
You certainly accelerated your stitching in the last few months - a way of trying to calm down maybe?
It is looking great, and you ought to be proud of yourself.

Regards,

Richard

Thanks, everyone! Yes, stitching has been a welcome distraction from "real life" lately. On my previous large project, I typically stitched through a page every 4-5 weeks. This chart has more stitches per page so that slows me down a bit, but still shooting for a page completion every 6 weeks or so overall going forward. I only work on one project at the time, so this will be my constant companion for the next three years or so -- makes it really important to pick a chart that I *love* (which I do)!

It is a stunning piece! Is the cloth 22ct? Are you stitching 2 over 1? Keep up the awesome work!

Thanks!

You sure can stitch. I can understand that frustration. I have this WIP, which has so much black I have never stitched that much black on black. But it must be done. It will be slow, yes, but I will tame that project. And I am sure you tame yours, even you have cream colors to tame.

I finished pages 6 and 7 a couple of weeks ago, so time for a picture update! It was fun to stitch the little birds for a bit of variety. Amusingly, I didn't even notice the orange one at the bottom until I took it off the Qsnaps for the full picture. This is definitely a piece better viewed from a bit of a distance.

Apologies for the wrinkles -- it'll get ironed when I finish the row!

:applesauce: :applesauce: :applesauce: Stunning! I love this design and I love your stitching! Sometimes I don't see the little details while I'm stitching until I take a picture of it and then I'm surprised. You are making beautiful progress and I wouldn't be upset if you decided to update more often.
