Stitching Updates

Mar 11, 2019 20:16

I've been a bit remiss about posting updates, got a bit carried away with the stitching, so here are the last two pictures. I'm on to the back stitch now, which is going to take a while, but it's already looking good. The only back stitch on these pictures is around her eyes.
( See Pictures... )

Looking good! I love seeing the piece take shape like this! ;-)

Thank you!

It's good having a record of my progress, I think I'll do this more often, especially with the more complex designs. She'll be completely transformed once the back stitch is done.

This is really so pretty.

Thank you! I'm loving watching her take shape. Now for the tricky and time consuming back stitch!

You can do it!

I'm sure I can. I actually enjoy back stitch.

Ooooooooh, pretty!

Thank you! I'm really pleased with how she's coming along, but I only have a month to finish her and turn her into a card o_O

Gorgeous, love the colours. Well done you! One of these days I'll get around to sending you some pics of the ones I've finished (if I can remember where I put them - me thinks the hall cupboard which I shudder to delve into! No matter how mum and I pack things neatly in there, you can be guaranteed the second you go to move something everythingfalls out on top of you!)

I've got cupboards like that. You really have to get your nerve up to risk touching anything, lol!

Thank you! Still got quite a way to go yet, the back stitch is very complicated, but you'll see the difference when I post the next update.

I would love to see some of your finished work if you ever find it!

Wow! The before and after pics are great!

Just a minor difference between the two and yet striking.

Well, quite a big difference since I hadn't finished the cross stitch on the first one. The top of the lady's head and half the roses was yet to be done, as well as her eye.

Now for all the rest of the back stitch, which is very intricate and will take some time. That's when she'll really come to life. Got quite a way to go yet before she's finished.
