Your stitching is really bringing this to life - such nice shading!

Wow, you're flying through this! I love the lightening like look to the fire in the circles - such a neat effect. Keep stitching!

Wow, I can't imagine doing something that size for work! It's a beautiful design though...seeing this thread makes me anxious to start my Josephine Wall HEAD. Looking forward to more updates!

Lovely design, and the fabric looks so soft!

This is beautiful so far. Is the fabric opalescent? The pink in the flower blends nicely. While in principle, it would be nice to stick with the wedding colors, I agree with you that brown might not be the best choice. Pink would work well if the bride likes pink, or you could think about introducin...

Is that gold on the border? It's beautiful!

All those blues look lovely, and it must be stunning with the sparkles!

Thanks everyone for your comments. So nice to have all you ladies spurring me on! :D I've started the mountains on the next page, and hopefully I'll have page 6 done in a couple of weeks. It looks better to me far away than it does close up, and I think that's part of the issue...it's always a foot ...

You've done so much already! This is looking great - I'm looking forward to seeing the details emerge.

This is going to look beautiful with all the blues filled in...and sparklies! I love sparklies...

This is looking great - such fine detail, and I love the shimmering effect. I can't wait to see the full thing unveiled!

This looks great. The pink adds a nice, but unexpected, touch. I can't wait to see how it blends as you fill in the rest!

That's amazing - keep going so we can see the final pic! You're so close, you can't stop now...

Beautiful! I love how the colors flow together - such a nice effect!

Interesting design! I can't wait to see what you'll be stitching for the next few months...

Sorry to hear you're having problems. I've always had similar concerns about my male cat, as he's extremely social and will wander into homes if doors are left open. His crowning achievement was the night my neighbors went to bed like they do every night, and woke up in the morning to find my cat ha...

Here's an updated pic. The next page has a huge block of DMC 826 for the sky...which will make the stitching go faster, but be rather dull. Hopefully I can just plow through it, and not get distracted by another project, as I have to finish this by September. I've been a bit disapointed in the patte...

Lovely so far! I love the shading in the background, and the way it makes the white borders pop out. Beautiful contrast.

Sorry to hear you've been unwell. Great progress though! I love the design - so much power and grace. This will be so striking when completed.

I always love how bright colors on black stand out. Great work so far!
