Good luck with the backstitch, it will really make it pop.

:applesauce: :applesauce: Beautifully stitched! The backstitch may be a little tedious because I'm sure there's lots of it, but it will make the details amazing.

That is totally amazing Paul and I hope you are proud of what you with your needle and thread have accomplished. A HUGE WELL DONE.

I can well imagine the b/s being a big job but remember 1 stitch at a time gets there in the end. :)

I haven’t posted in ages no as projects I’ve done are small so no point in doing a stitch along for them. But I have been looking

Lots of members do small projects and they are definitely worth posting. A good example are Mabel's creations. I don't do many small projects but I do post the ones I have done. Many members keep a "mini" or "small" projects thread active which are fun to see. Something you might think about, anyway.
