Wow! I knew it was going to be a large piece, but I had no idea how large. You are doing a fantastic job. I look forward to each update and am glad to know there will be many more updates in the future.

Re: The adoration of the kings - 6th May
Vanessa,
I'm not surprised it feels as if it'll never get done. It a huge project, and way, way beyond the life span of the rest of us normal stitchers - 845,340 stitches is VAST on anyone's scale. It's only your amazing speed that makes it possible to finish in a life-time.
It is the size I imagined. More of a mediaeval tapestry size than a normal picture. You can do it, if anyone can.
Regards
Richard.

WOW, WOW, WOW, the size of this is absolutely staggering. Amazing you are doing this wonderful design with so many different colours & small pieces to stitch at a time.
It deserves to be shown in an art gallery or somewhere when you finally complete t his. It will be simply stunning when completed & people won't believe you stitched it all yourself. An gigantuous task to undertake stitching.

You can do it Vanessa if anyone can. It really is amazing.vanessanjf wrote:I'm not really sure what I will do with it when it's done.

Please forgive me if I don't use any superlatives this time. I've run out.
It's really rather good. Your progress is interesting.
No, can't so it any more. You are simply phenomenal, Vanessa. I Don't know how you do it.
Regards,
Richard
