yeah i wasn't sure about this one..and close up it doesn't look right..but when hung on the wall..or held at arms length..it looks ok! and it is a quick stitch so i'll keep picking away at it..lol

That is great progress. I agree that the colors are nice and bright for overcast wintery days. Are there a lot of confetti stitches in there or do they seem to group them so they aren't so hard to stitch?

Coming on well - it's going to look lovely.

That will brighten a dull day! Well done so far.

actually there are pretty much solid blocks of stitches..and there is always a stitch or two touching the next block so it' flows really well. i can stitch all of one color then move to the next..

Ok I have finished the upper left page! going to start the bottom left page today or tonight
