Thank you everyone. Haven't been on here for 3 weeks so didn't know this post was here.

Thank you everyone for the lovely comments. Looking forward to getting it framed and hung up on the wall. Looks really rather good. Really good. You are to be congratulated. It'll look fantastic when framed. Have to confess I'd have done it on black fabric & cut out 60% of the work, but I'm lazy...

I have finally finished! This took me longer to do than it should have but I got there in the end. This is the biggest project I have done so far. I had a bit of a panic this morning when I washed it as it looked like the dark colours had bled into the few lighter colours but I checked it once it ha...

Thank you all for your lovely comments. Happy New Year and happy stitching to everyone.

After yet more very slow progress this is where I have got to. One more full page, half another page and 2 partial pages left to do. I am hoping to get this finished this year as I have been working on it for just over 2 years. I have just left my job of 10 years to start my own dog walking and pet ...

I asked the warden if they would take it and she said she would get it hung up in the hallway of the floor my grandma lived on. Thank you all again for your help.

Thank you all for your kind words and suggestions. I did think about asking the warden if they would like to put it up somewhere, either in the common room or in a hallway but didn't think anyone would like it. I noticed there were some tapestries hanging up in the hallway when we were clearing out ...

I did this piece: http://i64.tinypic.com/9zu9ue.jpg for my grandma for her Christmas a few years ago. She sadly died last weekend after a fall during the night. She lived in sheltered housing and because it's council owned we had to clear out the flat quite quickly. Most of the furniture has gone to...

Since losing our furry daughter Roxy in May I completely lost interest in cross stitching. Finally picked it back up just over 2 weeks ago and yesterday completed page 6. So that's pages 1, 2, 3 and 6 totally completed and pages 4 and 5 half done. Roxy: https://s26.postimg.org/k9qej20tl/FB_IMG_14746...

More very slow progress has been made. Now about half way done.

Thank you

That is awesome! So close to finishing

Thanks all. I was diagnosed with fibromyalgia and joint hypermobility in November after being in constant pain for years. Along with depression and PTSD (which I've had for over 25 years) and problems at work this last year has not been great but I'm hoping I can overcome all of that. Cross stitchin...

Due to health problems and generally just losing interest in everything I did not even look at this for months. But at the end of January I finally picked it up again and I have managed to get pages 2 and 3 completed (although half of page 2 was already done). I'm hoping I can continue making good p...

Shinysun's has some nice fish patterns.

Absolutely gorgeous

Thank you everyone for your lovely comments. I'm glad I took the framers advice with the colour of the matting. I was going to go for black and white but she persuaded me to go with these colours and I think it works well.

Finally got him framed. Really pleased with the job the framer did.

Absolutely stunning! Congratulations on a beautiful finish. Looks just like Scully.
