fccs’s past present forever September 2023

This is where I stopped last night. All of the backstitch that can be done at this point has been done. I tried using two strands of the metallic instead of the called for one on the backstitch to see if it would stand out more, and I think it helped. I may or may not need another color of the metallic but I will probably need more of the one I’m using since I’m doubling it.

Vanessa, I also try to stitch things with little backstitching, but some designs like this one (1) absolutely have to have it and (2) cannot be resisted.

Wow, just wow!! This is looking so very awesome and your stitching is amazing!! It makes me want to try and find this design, but I know that is definitely not a very easy one to find!! Looking forward to your next update. Keep up the beautiful work!!

Beautiful! I think doing the back stitching as you go on a project like this makes a whole lot of sense. When I was "into" Teresa Wentzler designs I did the same thing. It's overwhelming to leave it to the very end, but it certainly brings the design to life. Looking forward to more updates!

It makes a lot of sense to backstitch as you go, but oh my goodness, that backstitch key

You are stitching this so beautifully, I would think this would raise your spirits as you are working on it.

The detail in this gives it an amazing depth.
Although not something I would ever stitch I can still admire the work involved

Well, almost a year and a half later, look what came out to play. I forgot how much I enjoy stitching this one so I’m going to try to focus on it in the evenings and on my days off.

[rcperryls]

I remember this and am so happy that you are returning to it. Can't wait to see your updates!!!
