Well, some of you already know that this is in the pipeline:
Image

I will be stitching it 1 over 1 on 28 count Jobelan in forget me not blue. Here's a stash photo, but it really doesn't do the colours justice. Some of the blues and oranges are absolutely mouthwatering! :wub:
Image

Now all I need to do is sew it onto the scroll frame and grid it up. :dance:

One of life's greatest pleasures is a bobbin box full of lovely colours, ready and waiting for the first stitch. :D :D :D

The fabric is on the scroll frame so I just need to put in a couple of rows of gridding and I'm away. :whoop:

The first 625 stitches! I can already tell I'm going to love stitching this one and will have to be very strict with myself if I'm going to finish Cat in a Window in time to give it to Mum for Christmas, as planned.

That's 625 stitches already?!? Gives me some idea of how many there are in the full project :shock:
It's a lovely image, and the oranges are going to be perfect for capturing that warm welcoming glow.

Not sure I could handle parking on the full width of the project. Well done on the progress though.

Looking forward to seeing further progress. :D

Thanks for your lovely comments, everyone. I decided to give myself until the end of July to stitch this one to get the excitement of a new start out of my system before going back to Cat in a Window. Here's my progress so far.

And a couple of close-ups (sorry about the shadows, I couldn't quite get the light right).

Wow, this is really impressive! PostImage is great: We can see the picture clearly and even close up.
Beautiful stitching, BizzieLizzie!
I never tried parking and I am amazed how you can keep tab of all the different threads :applesauce:
