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.

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

Re: WIP - Cut Thru' Gypsy Wagon (Bothy Threads)
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!!

Wonderful progress! ....and you're really doing this fast!
Re: WIP - Cut Thru' Gypsy Wagon (Bothy Threads)
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.wendywombat wrote: I wish there was an overlap between the charts. I keep meaning to fill in the questionnaire and tell them!
