The adoration of the kings FiNISHED 26th June!!

Post by vanessanjf »

I am starting a new thread for my next project. You may remember I started this one a few years back. I intend to work on it until it is finished now. It is a very big Golden kite, it has 252 pages and I’m stitching it on 18ct aida.
Here is what it will look like

And here is where I am up to. I have completed 98 pages

You do pick them, don't you :-) It'll be lovely to see this develop! What size will it be when finished - is it another full-Vanessa-cover-sized one?

It will be 49” x 54” so yes it is another big one. I managed to stitch another 4 pages of this when the forum was down. I’m just working on the 5th and then I will take an update photo.

My goodness Vanessa, you amaze me with the wonderful stitching you do.

You have made so much progress since I last saw it.

This is going to be another Vanessa masterpiece, it's already fabulous.

Well done doesn't seem enough for your amazing stitching.
