Thought I would show you what I am doing at the present.
It is taken from a painting Bazille titled "Young woman with flowers"
Working it on 20 count aida.
Have completed approx 1/5 of it, just so much green.

You'll soon get to the more interesting parts - probably very sensible getting all the green out of the way first! (Green background fabric next time ? )

Is it this one?

Hi Mabel
That is the one.
It is for someone else and they wanted the background stitched rather than use green fabric as had already stitched another one in the series for her and she wanted it to match.

Ah. Not much choice then!

Good start on what is going to be a beautiful piece of stitching!

What an amazing picture this will be when completed. You ha ve made a good start

Looks like an interesting start, but have to confess it's hard to imagine the finished result at the moment.

Regards,

Richard.

What a fabulous design and I am sure it is going to look fabulous when finished. You certainly have made inroads into all that green.

You have done well already with all the green! Looking forward to the next update

This is a lovely picture. . Don't blame you for getting the background out of the way first.

Thanks for all the comments. Taking a break from the green and making a start on her face

I had searched and found the image Mabel linked to. But couldn't see any correlation with the background stitched so far. Then I turned the image 90 degrees and suddenly it matched.
Feel a bit silly.

It'll be very nice when finished.

Richard.

You have made a great start

Good progress! That's going to be lovely.

Made a start on the face, couldn't cope with any more green for a few days.
Thank you for all your support

Looks great! You deserve a break from the green. It can be hard to stitch all the same color or color family for long periods of time. I'm getting to a section in mine that's going to be all browns, which is probably why I've been avoiding picking it up lately. Looking forward to more updates.

What beautiful progress you have made!!! The detail in the face is exquisite! Looking forward to more updates!

Wow!!! Great detail on this and you are making fantastic progress on it!! Nice!!!

Hi Catz Sandra
Absolutely fabulous chart and you have made an excellent start, keep going as I am sure you will enjoy every minute of stitching this one.
Take care and Happy Stitching

Wow, you have made really speedy progress. I can see lovely details on her face already.
