The teapot lid is complete! (Minus french knots). Here is it before and after backstitching. I'm loving how this is stitching up! It's a lot of fun to work on so far.

I just realized I forgot to do the light pink back-stitching for the leaf veins, D'oh!

Oh well, that'll be in the next update.

Happy Star Wars day everyone! May the fourth be with you

Beautiful update

Backstitching can make such a difference for some designs. Worth every stitch.

Happy Star Wars Day to you too. Have you seen this Crowdsourced Star Wars ? I haven't watched all of it by any means, but if you love Star Wars its definitely worth a peek.

Carole - No I hadn't seen that before, it's hilarious! I love Woody and the Ninja Turtles

I'll definitely have to show this to my boyfriend when he gets home from work, he is a huge fan boy. Thanks for sharing!

And thanks everyone for the kind words.

Here's my latest installment of the teapot, before and after back-stitching again. I'm going to put this away now and switch back to Butterfly and Daisies. Hopefully my next update will be a finish on that piece!
