Tiger by Paul James *FINISHED Sept 8th pg 19*
[*]So happy that I'm finally starting this one and that my stitching bug is back. I had to wait to start this after I got everything together cause I was so excited I could focus on stitching.
I had a hell of a time finding this pattern. It took me just over two years to find this pattern. It came out in 2008 and I had seen it was in an upcoming issue. But that issue never got to my city. Not to mention trying to find the right brown piece of Aida in 18 ct. That was a challenge in itself. I'm love 18 ct the most and I didn't want it too big. But one day I stumbled across the perfect Aida. Now I finally have it and I'm loving every stitch of it so far.
This is what it should look like.
And since I want some extra room on the top, I'm doing something new and starting from the center at the bottom. This is my progress so far.

Persistence pays off in the end. Delighted you have found it as well as the right aida you wanted. Great start and will keep an eye on this one. He is so majestic and awesome isn't he.
