This is the result of my UFO week - sorry to post so late.


from this:

I am so happy, even if I had to frog quite a large bit...
Serinde, if I didn't fill in the blackwork as soon as a section is done, I would have never noticed that I was just one tiny stitch off... and it wouldn't have matched up at the end, of course.

Wow you were pretty busy this UFO week! It looks amazing! I can see the need to keep up with the backstitching. There's a lot going on in this design that it might be necessary to keep up with it.

What a beautiful design, so intricate. Each little section is like a mini work of art. And those threads look great will have to have a look at them

WOW! This has really taken a great leap forward! :D I know exactly what you mean about discovering that sort of error, too. I obsessively counted :doh: and was ok. I really, really enjoyed doing the blackwork motives, even the roses, which I found difficult to count. This is so exciting!! :applesauce: :applesauce: :applesauce:

Wow Agi,
You are doing really well on this one. I can't believe how much you got done on UFO week. It is such an unusual design and I love it.
