Here's the latest... I've been slow to update due to travel and starting a new job. Busy, busy, busy!

These photos are sort of at an odd angle, but I think you can still see the progress fairly well. Sorry - I was too lazy to iron the material before taking pictures!

Image

And here's a close-up of the more recent part I've stitched:

Image

I save all the backstitching for the end, so the face and hand lack definition right now. Right after taking this picture, I did a large section of the bodice of the dress and the arm that goes across. Then I realized I had somehow stitched in an extra row, and I had to frog the whole area. Ugh! But now I'm back on track, so hopefully another update will be posted soon!

:applesauce: Lovely. I love how rich and deep the colors are. I don't think you need to iron it before posting. It looks fine. Just like a WIP is supposed to look.
