Only thing to do with big blocks of one colour...a bit at a time. :D Especially when it's BLACK ! ! :lol:

It does show up the vibrant colours in the rest of it though. :applesauce:

Absolutely stunning design and beautifully worked.

Can I ask are you working it in 1 over 1 and what is the count of your fabric?

Looking forward to your next update. :D

The detail is emerging and Wow! Fantastic work! :whoop: :applesauce: :applesauce:

BTW if you think it's too hot to stitch, come over here where we've got temperatures in the mid 30's Plus High humidity. :hot: :hot: My stitching is 'on hold' :doh:

here in costa deal sol it's been 39 degrees now for over a week and still 30's at night, not great for stitching or doing anything, as the humidity is so high, but shouldn't complain, still rather be here than back in the uk.
