This is truly amazing work. :applesauce: :applesauce: I liked the pic on the chair, it showed the scale of the project. Forgive me if you have mentioned this already, but how many threads are you using? 1 or 2? The coverage is excellent.

I'm using 2 strands, tent stitched (28ct), I did want to make sure I got as good coverage as possible with most of the colours being dark... but also wanted to do it in tent stitch as it's twice as fast! :dance: I've got some 25ct which I'm planning to use on one of my lighter-coloured HAEDs as it goes well with a lighter, sketchier feel with them. But for any darker coloured ones I think I'll stick with this :D

Next picture coming up soon! I just need to update my percent bar....

Time for an update again. This is I think 4 or even 5 pages in to the 3rd row, as a couple were just background so wouldn't have been very interesting to look at --

The full page is done but the side looks wonky as part of it's her arm so the pale skin doesn't stand out.
I quite like it on this background too, if you haven't already guessed I usually take the pictures of this on the bed, so it gets the covers as the background & this is one of my favourites. Bedcover designs are one of my weaknesses! :D
