Can't believe I have been working on this project for so long and I'm still not quite done. All but the backstitch completed now.

Would love to see the progress, your last entry on it was long, long before I came to the forum.

That is really quite something. The backstitch is going to be quite an effort, though. It sharpens the image, but I can see there's going to be a huge amount.

Thanks for letting us see this.

Regards,

Richard

:applesauce: :applesauce: Beautiful! I don't do many designs now that require backstitching, but I never minded it when it brought a piece to life and this is what the backstitch here will be doing! Looking forward to more updates, please!

This is truly breathtaking even without the back stitching done. I can't wait to see more updates. Thank you for sharing your picture.
