It's brilliant! Sensible doing the backstitch as you go, it's partly why my summer ball is not calling me as I've not done a whole lot of the backstitch....but this doesn't no outage me to get it out again....

Week 4 of working on this included the little bit I did to complete page 1 from the last update so my progress on page 2 is after 5 days. I wasn't looking forward to this part of my rotation because I wanted to work on other pieces but it really grew on me and I just want to keep going! But I think it's the rotation that's keeping me "fresh" on my projects so I'll pack this one away until next time.

Week 4 progress:

The overlap between pages is a full column of 10x10 squares so pages 2-6 won't be as wide as page 1.

Hard to believe this piece sat for a month between rotations but it did. This week, I worked on a lot of snow on page 2, and when I was tired of that, I finished the red dress & worked a bit on the 2 kids. I still have to finish the backstitching on the red dress.
