God Speed!! Updated 24th October 2015
I claimed this chart as a reward for spending so much money on the HAED site (thanks rcperryls!!) and subsequently saw a hanging of this one and the accompanying 'Tha Accolade' in the English Heritage shop at Whitby Abbey while we were on holiday. That did it and I had to start it at the earliest opportunity. So as soon and I'd finished Sunday Cricket and the June Mr Man I got this one started.
Here's the full picture
and here's where I'm at so far
I'm stitching 2 over 1 on 18 count Antique White Aida, as I wanted a bigger finish to make it onto a hanging, like a tapestry. There's already detail of the stone carving appearing, but there's a heck of a lot of black on page 2 .

That will make a brilliant wall hanging, as you say it'll be like one of those gorgeous tapestries

I've been working on this one for the most part over the last three weeks or so, so here's where it's at
I'm going to have a go at Rhyme and Reason now I think. I could do with some blue!!

Beautiful The detail in the stone work is already so amazing.
I can see why you would like a color change, but hope you'll be back to this one in not too long a time.

I can understand wanting a different colour for a change.
Great update and it is growing nicely.

Wow, this is going to be absolutely stunning. I've always liked this painting and it'll be great to see it in stitch form.
It looks like a huge project, but you've made so much progress already. I envy your speed!
