Amazing piece and fabulous work. Well done! :wub: All I could think of when I first saw your work was 'oh goodness, the amount of confetti in there', lol! Look forward to more updates on this piece. Sorry I missed your initial thread. A very belated welcome to the forum from the UK. :dance: I just love your kitty too. :wub:

Thank you to all! :)

Yes, the whole thing is pretty solidly confetti...I consider it good if there's more than 4 or 5 stitches of the same color in a 10x10 block, LOL. It's so worth the work and all the color changes, though; I love seeing the details pop out when you stand back and look at the whole thing. I do have roughly 3/4 of the colors/symbols memorized (90 in total) which makes it go faster.

And the great thing about confetti is that you can misplace a stitch or two or three and fill it in with a different color and no one's the wiser. I only frog if I get really AWOL. :roll:

Update September 13

Post by Agatha »

Thanks again for all your compliments! :wub: It is so nice to share with people who know how much work and time and devotion go into these things. :roll:

Two more pages down and halfway done with the second row. Yay!

I think the colors are more true in these. There is definitely a more yellowy/orange vibe going on in person, but there was a fair amount of green in these two pages.

Getting started on page 13 tomorrow...stitching right along. 8)

You got more patience than me, i would be cross eyed by now with all that changing colours. It looks like you have the bulk of it done now.
