When you update, it is always a BIG update too.

Where will you display this wonderful stitching in your home?

"Amazing" is just the word that my husband just said as he passed the computer just now and saw your work.

1,12m and full coverage! You have to be very brave to start this project and also very patient (and have lots of perseverance) but the result is absolutely fantastic.
You will be able to admire your wonderful work many times during the day when it is displayed on the landing.

It is lovely to see you too on the photo, Vanessa! :D

Vanessa, you are Heracles in cross-stitch. :applesauce: Compared with your works, especially this one, all mine look like tiny "cuties" and postcards. :oops: But this you know.
I am looking forward to the finish of this colossal and superb work of yours. And dying of curiosity- what project will be next?
Happy stitching!

CONGRATULATIONS ON A FABULOUS FINISH :whoop: :whoop: :whoop:

Vanessa, this is absolutely awesome in the truest sense of the word. It is glorious, to see it in it's completed form is truly glorious. :wub:

Your stitching is astounding, everything about this wonderful piece is astounding, it's sheer size, the neatness of your stitching. it is astounding. This is the kind of piece one would stand and stare at in a stately home or musuem :applesauce: :applesauce: :applesauce: :applesauce:

I'm glad you're are going to have this wonderful piece on your landing where you'll see it everyday :mexicanwave: :mexicanwave: :mexicanwave: :mexicanwave: :mexicanwave: :mexicanwave:

Congratulations, Vanessa! You have done such a great work on this and the result is worth each and every stitch. I also wish I knew more English adgectives to describe this stitching. I am happy for you, but perhaps will be missing the updates on it. What will be the next project?

Looking forward to new updates.
Happy stitching!
