Just stunning

You're a naughty girl Dana, why do you have to be stitching something so gorgeous and so beautifully too that I feel the need to have it?....must stay strong......can't afford another one yet......but those gorgeous blues are calling to me!

Thank you ladies for all of your wonderful comments!

Here is my latest progress pic. Only two more panels and one more tree and I'll be done with this part, ugh. I really don't care much for stitching things four times, even though the colors are different in each pair of panels and the grapes are different colors... I had hoped to finish this part last week while I was on vacation but didn't get as much stitching time as I'd hoped.

Its looking really pretty!

Dana that is AWESOME and I especially love your close up of those fancy stitches .
Fabulous back stitching with the gold too.

Oh, this is so pretty! I know I say that every update, but it becomes more and more true each time.

So gorgeous Dana, you are doing well with the repetition! I think even Martina realises that not everyone wants to stitch the same thing 4 times so much - when I look at her newer designs compared to her older ones they seem much more varied e.g with Chinese Mandala there were 4 different seasons, with Serengeti/Polar 4 different animal scenes and giving the choice with Paris to stitch symmetrical and non-symmetrical versions.

Look forward to your next update even though it nags at me to get on stitching my Butterflies !

Amazing - the colours are so vibrant

[millymolly]

Oh this is looking lovely!!

Beautiful stitching and know what you mean about the repetition - my TW 12 days of christmas involved stitching the same border 12 times and the same sprigs of holly 48 times I think I could have done it in my sleep by the end

Gorgeous. Lovely. Beautiful. I don't know what other words there are to describe how absolutely stunning (that's another word) this is. So looking forward to your next update and keep those close ups coming also. I love to see those stitches.

Lovely! I love the colors!

[nachosmiley]

Just stunning ....I agree that stitching the same thing four times can be a bit tedious, but the overall effect is so worth it.

[vanessanjf]

Your work is so beautiful Dana

[Parksfarm]

Wow, thought I'd never finish this part...





Thank you all for your lovely comments! I'm really itching to stitch on one of my HAEDs, so think I'll put this one up for a bit now...
