So beautifully detailed!

Such a lovely project

I finished the Wyoming State Capitol back in August. This design is packed with fractional and back stitching, but it’s worth it.



(I’m still working on trying to replace lost images.)

[Mabel Figworthy]

Yes it does add detail doesn't it!

[rcperryls]

Looking really good. What is fun about a piece like this is you have so many mini finishes as you make your overall progress!

Great to see this one again Debbie.

I love the effect of fractional and back stitching.

My current picture doesn’t include the 1/4 stitches. Instead, the outlining will have blank corners, or if it’s inside the picture it will kind of look like the colour bleeds through. I don8t like that...so I just add the 1/4 stitches myself because I think it looks much neater.

I was just about to say that myself. I do enjoy seeing and working on sectional designs.

I finished the railroad depot today:



And here’s the whole piece. There’s a lot left to do.

[Squirrel]

but it is another lovely piece of history come to life under your needle. Well Done.

Looking good!

[wendywombat]

Hey! That's coming on nicely!

[rcperryls]

Lovely addition. Lots of mini finishes must make this even more fun to stitch!

I’ve been up in Cheyenne for the past week (dog sitting my grand dogs while my son and daughter-in-law are at work). Yesterday I decided to take pictures of what I’ve stitched so far on the Cheyenne sampler. I thought it might be fun for you to see the real things. (And yes, the sky really was that blue!)

This is the Governor’s Mansion:



And here is the Wyoming State Capitol:



And lastly, here is the railroad depot (excuse the sunbeam across the picture):

[Serinde]

No pictures...

[Steam.Jo]

Yes All of those are recognisable from your piece

[fccs]

No pictures...

No pics?? Hmm...I can see them...and it looks like Steam Jo saw them...interesting.....

[Serinde]

Can see them now. (How odd!) Good pics, and the design reflects them well. Oh, for the days when railway stations were temples to travel!

I agree. It's fun to see how close the stitching is to "the real thing"
