Us all being stitchers and all I can say with confidence it's still exciting. You are FAST. I've noticed that ever since I joined this group. I wish I could stitch that fast.

I agree!!!

You have stitched that very quickly. Look forward to next few updates a s picture unfolds. Thanks for sharing

What count is the fabric and what brand of black are you using? It is excellent coverage.

Good progress!

It's 18ct aida and DMC thread.

Super start and super speedy

If I could stitch that fast, I would be done with "Burden" which sits sadly in a drawer. Knowing how tedious all that black can be, I truly appreciate what you have done. I couldn't have gotten that much done tent stitching. And using DMC 310 and getting such great coverage. I am amazed. As I usually am amazed at your speed with such perfect stitches!!!

You've made quick work of that first page. Even if it is all black, a page is a page and that means one less page to make it to the finish line.

I have stitched page 2 but there is still not much to see yet...

because I know ,as I have said many times (probably too many times), how hard it can be to stitch all one color for pages. But this one is going to be so awesome and has me itching again for her Witching Hour. I hope you will be sticking with this for a while. And it is so good to see your updates on pieces that you love stitching. Can't wait for the next one!

Congrats on finishing another page!!

You are amazing sticking to stitching so much of 1 colour. Well Done.

Wow, that is a lot of one color! Great job!

This is the project I am now going to be rotating with the adoration of the kings (picture of what it will look like finished is on page 1). I have only done 2 pages so far which are completely black. Photobucket images of my progress have disappeared. I will be stitching a page of the adoration of the kings first then I will get back to this one.

Two full pages of black ?????? You are incredible But won't it look great when finished! (Did you consider doing it on black fabric?)

No I don't mind all the black stitching but I will be glad when I get onto the cat

Can't see pic but bet it's lovely. I have to get on to PhotoBucket apparently. Not signed on there yet anyway so will do that later on.

Finally an update on this one. Progress has been slow lately because I lost my stitchy bug for a couple of weeks but it has returned now. Now I have an ear...

So you do!! A bit of interest in all that dark and confetti!
