At the half way mark. Haven't been doing much stitching this summer, but now that fall is here I'm hoping to change that:)

:applesauce: :applesauce: :applesauce: A beautiful update and you certainly are making progress with it. There is something about cooler weather and our crafts which make it so much easier to settle into them. Looking forward to the next updates. :whoop:

What a lovely piece and you're making great progress! I had to laugh at your comment about it being a small project. I'd consider this a large project, lol.

I totally agree with seedreemer on project size. I would also consider this design quite big :)
But I love Tuscany and really enjoy looking as it gradually appears on your stitching :)

This is such an elegant project! It looks like something right out of the sketchbook of a well-traveled artist! I adore the effect that your half-crosses (half stitches? tent stitches? I'm not quite sure which term to use) have. What do you plan to do with this lovely piece when you finish?

Not progressing as fast as I would like but it is moving along slowly... More confetti than I would like...

Confetti stitches are a right (and left!) pain.. :doh: ..BUT the overall effect at the Finish will be worth it!. :D

I think it's looking good and you've done a great job! :applesauce:

It is looking great though and you are making progress. Just keep at it 1 stitch at a time and it will be finished quicker than you can imagine. :lol:
