Update time! It’s starting to get tricky stitching on this now. I use a floor stand roll frame and as I roll it as there’s so much metallic it’s getting hocked onto other threads. I’ve had to do repair jobs on it. So I’m going to have to try and use a hoop or Q snap, no idea what but can’t use a rol...

One page to go! I don’t think it’s as impressive as King Tut one

First page done, sorry it’s not that interesting to look at. Backstitching as I go on this one. You might notice it’s the same as the King Tut one. Just different person in centre

Next one is well underway http://i41.photobucket.com/albums/e273/guy_river/cross%20stitch/3AFDC8CA-E89A-4E05-B8E2-E7D777BABC08_zpsoan78thw.jpg I also need some help or advice. The more I stitch on this the more I have issues getting tension right on floor stand. Middle and right are ok but left side...

Wonderful finish, Paul. :applesauce: :applesauce: :applesauce: I love Tutankhamun's eyes and all the shadings. :wub: Your Mum is so lucky. Have you decided yet how you are going to display it? Well the idea in my head is in a frame with a mount but finished piece will sit in middle of mount with fa...

Tutankhamun is finished, that backstitch was really tricky

I haven’t posted in ages no as projects I’ve done are small so no point in doing a stitch along for them. But I have been looking

Just got the backstitch to do and it looks like a nightmare!

Last section to go. Getting the hang of the metallic thread nightmare too now

I’m half way with this design

My mum has been on at me for years to stitch her an Egypt design but I’ve been putting it off for ages as it’s not something that interests me. But then I had an idea. To make it fun for me I’m doing a big piece. Remember my Disney piece? Well it will be like that just no way as big. Shall use hiero...

She’s finished

Last little bit to go.... I think

WOW, your needle must be smoking hot, you have done so much. Well done, she's looking great. So close to a finish. :applesauce: :applesauce: Have you decided on your next project? I have indeed it will be like my Disney (how I miss not working on that) piece but not as big and a different theme

Close to finish. So planning next project which I’m excited to start!

Losing the will to live now

Does anyone else have trouble posting on here? Takes me hours to make a post. Keep getting a “general error” message and won’t load post.

Thank you Paul, it is certainly an extra special piece with all the signatures, will you add a list to the back of the frame stating when and where it was signed? I would for future generation to marvel at :applesauce: I will, but no need really as have photos of them all signing it so that’s proof...

:whoop: :whoop: :whoop: a truly special piece :whoop: :whoop: :whoop: Beautifully stitched :applesauce: :applesauce: :applesauce: What a great idea to get it signed, it makes it even more special especialy when I think of all the conventions you would have to go to. But could you please take pity a...

Have an update on this.... if your not a Doctor Who fan will be wasted on you though http://i41.photobucket.com/albums/e273/guy_river/cross%20stitch/3524B5E7-5E23-4C45-B20D-6C5137DD81AD_zps8hhrptkc.jpg http://i41.photobucket.com/albums/e273/guy_river/cross%20stitch/5F4AEE14-FBD5-44DC-9805-3F87E8B515...
