I like your modifications, and it will definitely help get it to stitch up faster. I was about ready to throw my blue thread in the trash after filling in around all the Hebrew in the original. :lol: Love the light, airy feel. Sending quick-stitchy mojo your way!

Hi there - thanks for your encouragement! :D
Here's my current update:

(Sorry for the quality of the picture...)

The second bird was much quicker to stitch than the first - maybe because the first was upside down... @rotfl:

Hi there

I love this design and you're making wonderful progress. :applesauce: :applesauce:

Like you, I am also stitching a wedding gift. Mine is for a friend who is getting married on 1st October ( I don't know how to re-name links, so here is the whole address to the thread for mine http://www.crossstitchforum.com/viewtop ... =6&t=14070" target="_blank" target="_blank)

I'm completely with you on wanting to get finished in time. I'm sure you will.
All the best and good luck :shamrock:
