Vibrant!
When there's a lot of backstitch I like to do it as I go.

Thanks everyone
I wish I'd done just that Wendy, but as I'd never done backstitch before I thought I'd put it off til the end. Foolish mistake ....

Re: WIP - Egyptian Extravagance
It's such a beautiful piece to begin with, but that back stitching really makes it pop and brings it to life. I'll be patiently sitting here waiting for your next update.

Re: WIP - Egyptian Extravagance
I love this design and your execution is beautiful.
I hatehatehate backstitching, but when the design calls for it, it's gotta be done. I also backstitch as I go or I couldn't deal with it.

You'll know Next Time, eh?
Always difficult decision, though, on where to stop as you don't want to encroach on the next part of the pattern.

Re: WIP - Egyptian Extravagance
Great update, the backstitching is bringing out it's true beauty. I like anything Egyptian & this is truly beautiful. Not seen this design until you put it on here. Look forward to next update,
