Congratulations on completing that backstitching. It's really worthwhile as the picture has really come to life. :applesauce:

You're on the final push now and I'm sure the Goldwork and beading will go well. No need to worry about the beading. Once you get in the swing of it, you'll enjoy it. :D

Thanks everyone! :D Yes, I can't wait to get it finished either! I've done all the goldwork but the 4 corner panels now. The corners have goldwork and beads, so I've left 'em to last to avoid damaging anything accidentally. I hope to finish it tomorrow, but I have to go visit a friend, vote, go to bank, and my younger daughter is visiting from Beirut and may have to stay with me overnight. So it may be Friday before I finish it... :(

And a close-up of one corner so you can see the goldwork and beads of the borders.

Finished it yesterday evening, and I feel very pleased with it. Dunno when I shall be able to frame it, but when I have I will post another pic.
