It will be amazing once the backstitching is done... It is already wonderful!

Enjoy your break from these piece. I know we will all be looking forward to seeing the finish, but I'm also looking forward to seeing your other piece.

Super detail with the back stitch I'd love to be sat in one of those chairs, lovely update

Thank you Lulu. Am having a few week a break from this & have done some more on my Fragrant Tranquility project.

Here is latest picture. Have finished as much as I can do before I need to take it out of the hoop & do the 4 corners. Backstitches etc. done to the best of my ability altho I am getting a bit better each time I do them. The white flecks on the water of the lake looks OK here but when I look, it does not seem as nice. I think it needed thicker thread as white thread supplied is thin like the thread used to use when tacking something before hemming etc. In future when I do a Dimensions kit will use my own white & black thread. Can use my Anchor ones.

Thank you for looking

you could go over the white wave tops again with the white thread supplied or your Anchor threads to accentuate them, still in half crosses of course.

The back stitch really does bring out the detail! A glass

to celebrate whilst we look at the lovely view I think!

Lovely picture.

Thank you both. Gone over the backstitch on water again with the thin thread & now they do show up as a bit choppy on the lake but they do look better. Adds a bit of movement to the lake waters.

I totally agree!!! Loving this one a LOT!!! Such a serene vista!!

Beautiful! Such a wonderful design, so serene!

Remember we tend to be our own worst critics. I think the backstitching, and all the stitching, looks wonderful!

AWESOME update of this amazing design. You have stitched it so beautifully especially the back stitch.

Lulu22 · Post by **Lulu22** » Mon Jul 04, 2016 8:13 am

You are doing a wonderful job of the backstitching

Thank you all

lavenderbee · Post by **lavenderbee** » Tue Jul 12, 2016 5:32 pm

Finished. Glad but will kinda miss this one. Most intricate project I have done but enjoyed it

Thanks for all your support

Am going to spend a couple of nights putting spare threads from kits onto bobbins & number them so no more tangled threads in drawer

Then can get out threads I need for next project before going back to Fragrant Tranquility.
