Another stunner.

Judging by the title, we have yet to see appear the kings and the baby Jesus with his mother (and perhaps father?) - how much of the total is this?

Yes you are right! This is 39% of the stitching completed.

Goodness me how could I have forgotten this magnificent stitching. It is wonderful to see it again and it will be something special to look forward to each further update.

How did I miss this finish?
OK, I know it was the hacking kerfuffle, but we've been back a few days now.

Vanessa, I just cannot get over how fast you stitch and how accurately. It does look good, and is quite staggering in both its scale and ambition. I do still feel that HAED could have done a better job of the conversion to do your abilities justice, but it does look quite amazing.

Simply awestruck. Wish I could be even one tenth as good.

Regards,

Richard

I’m so sorry I haven’t been around for a while. I hope everyone is keeping well.
I have been busy moving house and then I seemed to have so little time. I have finally managed to get my Jesus picture framed and put up in the new house. I hope you like it

:wave: :wub: :wave: Welcome back!!!! You have been missed and I am so glad to see you. Moving into a new house in the middle of a pandemic with all the other strange things happening in the world can get in the way of stitching but I hope you will stay with us for a good long while now!

Your piece is magnificent. The frame is perfect and I hope you are as proud of yourself as you should be. Looking forward to seeing what you've been working on since you last here. Once again, you are most welcome back! :wub:

:wave: Welcome Back! :wave: :whoop:

Oh my goodness Vanessa, I can't imagine moving house in a Pandemic, it's so stressful at the best of times, I hope you have settled in by now and are more than happy in your new home.

The Light of the World is so so beautiful, the warmth that radiates out from the lamp and reflected in the door is amazing. The frame sets it off to perfection, and it looks perfect in the perfect spot for it.

:applesauce: :applesauce: :applesauce: :applesauce: :applesauce:

If it's OK to ask, how are you getting on with The Adoration Of the Kings? I remember that one and being stunned into speechlessness, both by it's size and by your speed and your amazing stitching.

Of course anything you are working on will be spectacular.

Thanks for the warm welcome back. Yes moving was very stressful and it seemed to take so long to get everything sorted out.
I’m still stitching The adoration of the kings and I am on the last row now. Only 12 pages left to go so there should be another finish soon. I will post a photo when I get the chance to lay it out. :)
