I started this 26/9. I know I've got a few WIPs on the go but I couldn't resist it and I wanted to see what it was like working on black Aida

. It's been good because I've been so careful stitching it, the work is really neat.

I've just finished Frederick the Literate which is also on black fabric. It has taken me a long time to do as I found it quite hard to see the holes and I kept getting lost when I got to the sections of black thread!

I found that having something white/light like a tea towel or a piece of paper on my lap under the stitching helped immensely.

Good Luck.

Wow, it looks great. I think your right, he seems to stand out nicely against the black cloth!

Stunning! I agree that the black fabric does good work of showing off his color. Makes him stand out wonderfully

That looks so dramatic on the black background!

Do we know what he's going to end up like?

Not what I had expected when reading the title but it is going to be gorgeous!!!! I love animals on black they just seem to pop so well on the dark colors.
