Re: The astronomer start 13.2.16 page1 done 21.5.16
loving the different colours on some of the pages, have skipped past page one just now as there is a lot of black, will do it bit by bit.
Started 13th February, so don't think it's going too bad at the moment.

I think I'd do the same...you can always do the black as and when you feel like it!
Whoopee for the more colour I say!!

I can't say I blame you for skipping around. It's definitely more fun to start building up the telescope which is looking pretty good. I love the moment when the stitches go from just random colors to a recognizable shape or pattern. It feels a bit like magic and your telescope is really starting to take shape.

You have made great progess if you only started in February. This is definitely not a quick project. I love all the colors so far and cannot blame you one bit for passing on stitching the black part. That would definitely be tedious. It looks fantastic so far!

well summer has most definitely arrived here in Spain, into the high 30's the last few days, and today well into the 100, so a stitchy day inside with the air con on.
Pleased with progress, I keep moving around the colours, as I like the bright colours.

WOW that is coming along beautifully and the vibrant colours of the telescope really lift all the other colours too. A lovely update.

I am sorry, but I can't see any difference between the two pictures.
Anyway I love all the colours and what you have stitched so far!

Re: The astronomer start 13.2.16 page1 done 21.5.16
After completing challenge 2 successfully, I am just randomly stitching different colours until these four pages are completed, trying to do a little black every time too.

Re: The astronomer start 13.2.16 page1 done 21.5.16
Stunning!! It's not easy when there is a lot of one color to stick with it. I find that if I alternate it with areas with lots of confetti, each becomes a good break from the other.
