Oh wow!!! I don't think i've seen anything quite so complicated and heck, that is ALOT of backstitching!!!!

Don't blame you for doing it as you go along - you do need to stay sane!!!

Its all worth it though because it looks fab!!!! Well done!

Great progress! These designs are fun aren't they? I have done the Rocket and the Igloo for my grand children. The rocket was huge and I did the back stitch floor by floor as I went, but the igloo is a bit smaller. Yes Jilly It does look like Blobs of colour to start with!!

I have a Lighthouse to do too!!!!!!!!!!

Oh wow! The detail is fantastic!
This might be fiddly to do but it's going to be one VERY special present for her.

This is wonderful, I love the vibrant colours!
Why don't you do something small in between, to get some rest? Maybe a card or such.

These are wonderful designs. Great progress

I might be prepared to do one a tenth the size

It looks so good. Many color changes I am sure. But what a great finish it will be.

Here's the latest update. It doesn't look it, I know, but the cartwheel was an absolute bXggXr to stitch!! Really - one of the fiddliest things I've ever done. Pleased with the overall look tho. Two pages down, four to go!!

Fabulous love all the deails in it although I know they make stitching a bit of a chore.

Wonderful progress!

Excellent progress. The details are time-consuming I'm sure but the character and distinction it adds must make it well worth the energy and time spent. Well done.

Wonderful work!
I know what you mean about the Wheel! But you've DONE IT!!!

When I did the Rocket the faces of the Astronauts were a real pain to backstitch! They either looked like idiots or monsters!

I wish there was an overlap between the charts. I keep meaning to fill in the questionnaire and tell them!

Thank you for your kind comments

I have had exactly the same thought. It would make transition between pages MUCH easier.

This is fantastic! It might have been a pain to stitch, but believe me, it was well worth it, cos it looks amazing.
Well done.
