This is where I stopped last night. All of the backstitch that can be done at this point has been done. I tried using two strands of the metallic instead of the called for one on the backstitch to see if it would stand out more, and I think it helped. I may or may not need another color of the metallic but I will probably need more of the one I’m using since I’m doubling it.

Vanessa, I also try to stitch things with little backstitching, but some designs like this one (1) absolutely have to have it and (2) cannot be resisted. :-)

:applesauce: :applesauce: Beautiful! I think doing the back stitching as you go on a project like this makes a whole lot of sense. When I was "into" Teresa Wentzler designs I did the same thing. It's overwhelming to leave it to the very end, but it certainly brings the design to life. Looking forward to more updates!

It makes a lot of sense to backstitch as you go, but oh my goodness, that backstitch key :shock:

You are stitching this so beautifully, I would think this would raise your spirits as you are working on it.

The detail in this gives it an amazing depth. :dance:
Although not something I would ever stitch I can still admire the work involved :applesauce: :applesauce:

Well, almost a year and a half later, look what came out to play. I forgot how much I enjoy stitching this one so I’m going to try to focus on it in the evenings and on my days off.
