I agree with what everyone has said. The use of regular and blended threads is what makes SQ designs so amazing and such a challenge. (I have secured 3 magic benches for this thread, plus a hot drinks machine.)

If SQ ever does a carpet page from Book of Kells, I'm so going to do it.

We'll definitely need the capacity! But I vote for drinks magically brought over from the Stash & Grab :-) - drinks from machines are generally not very nice...

Mabel Mabel Mabel. This isn't just any hot drinks machine, it's a Stash & Grab Hot Drinks Machine! :lol: (Yes, there are marshmallows for the hot chocolate, too.)

It’s been another while, but I have been keeping up on my stitching! I just haven’t been taking photos of my progress. Well, I just now finished off Row 3 (of 5 1/2) and remembered to take a pic before repositioning the fabric in the frame.

Oh my. That is truly remarkable. It looks simply stunning. The SQ designs are not the easiest (slight understatement) and you're doing a perfect job.

I take my hat off to you.

Regards,

Richard.

Wow, guess I haven’t updated in about six months! After figuring out a TinyPic replacement, I think I have it figured out. Finished off another row in those six months. Only one and a half rows to go! (The “half” is the height on the page, btw.)

This is fantastic and I am sooo happy to see your update!!! What a beautiful and truly delightful piece this is. I don't know if this makes sense, but you can almost feel the depth and satiny texture of this design. Please keep us updated!

I cant express it better. The tree and its leaves do look 3D. :applesauce: The closer to the finish, the more beautiful the whole picture looks. Happy stitching! We are all looking forward to further updates.

I absolutely agree!!! A quick question for you, what site are you using to host your pictures now--I really need to find one that is a bit more user friendly
