W.I.P. - Joan Elliot's "Grace" - BS Update 7/14 pg 24

She's gorgeous! (and the part of the back that shows on the scroll looks mighty good, too!) You're going to be finished soon!

I don't remember, are there beads in this one?

Thanks! No, there aren't any beads in this one. It was a kit, but I don't think even the chart version of that design has beads.

Then you really will be done soon! It doesn't look like it needs them, I just thought JE usually put them everywhere.

There is a lot of backstitch to do as well, but yeah, I'm really getting close to done. I have an area of 57 h x 180 w left at the bottom and then a 100 w x 20 h section above that but below what I've already stitched. So about 12k stitches plus all the backstitch.

Wow, that's beautiful, love the colors! And the cake sounds pretty darn yummy!

[grrlshapedthing]

wow look at how much you have done! I must be a slow stitcher this is what I'm realizing!

[geekishly]

Thanks!

Brooklynne, you're not slow! I just have a lot of stitching time. I got a good 30+ hours of stitching in for this rotation.

Avengers project???? You have me intrigued Grace is coming along great!

[geekishly]

Thanks!

It's a chart that skitzzzzz made for me:

I need to get something else to grid with for it since I'm stitching on black fabric. I tried using my fishing line, but it's really hard to see.

Beautiful stitching!! I am looking forward to seeing your avengers project

[Juel]

Breathtaking

[geekishly]

Thanks everyone. I'm working on another small project until I manage to get some money from babysitting so I can buy something for gridding. I don't wash my pieces, so I don't want to use anything waxy for gridding.

Only just caught up with this one. Your stitching is beautifully neat and I love the colours in her dress.

[geekishly]

Thanks.

Here's progress from the last two nights. Turn back a page and you can see where I last left off. Anyway, it's hard to see in the picture, but there's about a 1:1 ratio of green to white stitches in that section on the left. You'll be able to see them when I add in the pinks and reds. That section will be the same "print" as the one just a little to the right with the pinks and reds and little flowers.

This is just lovely!!!!!!!
