How many pages are left across the top row?

There are 11 more pages to go on the top row (18 in total).

Okay, I have a question for you, Vanessa. You've probably answered it a dozen times somewhere in the thousands of posts here, but I wouldn't know how to start looking for the answer, so I'll ask you.
On January 20, you'd finished and posted the first page. On February 18, you finished and posted seven complete pages. That's six pages you stitched in a single month. (I'm assuming those are regular print pages and not extra large print pages.) Do you stitch amazingly fast? or do you have a lot of time to devote to stitching? Inquiring minds want to know.....

They are the normal golden kite chart pages (which are larger print than the regular HAED). I stitch every night for 3 hours and when I can at the weekend all day. I am just very devoted to my stitching and really push myself to achieve.

Didn't you know? Vanessa is our resident super heroine stitcher!

Her needle is faster than a speeding bullet....and we all love seeing her work come to life so quickly!

I like that!!

Woah another page already! and beautifully stitched the design is starting to take shape now and looks amazing

Erm do you think you could come and stitch a couple of pages for me? I really wish I could make some speedy progress!

I see that.

I'm wondering, Vanessa, have you tried those double-ended needles? I assume you're a two-handed stitcher.

I think if I could stitch as fast as that, I'd be stitching models for designers.

No I haven't. I didn't know you could get them! I wish I could stitch models for designers

I don't remember what they're called -- maybe double-tip needles or center-eye needles. It might depend on the manufacturer. The eye is in the middle and each end of the needle is a tapestry tip. When you poke it through the fabric, you don't have to turn the needle around -- just poke it down with the bottom tip and up with the top tip.

I like that Vanessa is our resident super stitching hero, gives us something to aim for.....to aspire to rather, aim for sounds like I'm trying to shoot her down!! Oops....

Great going as ever, but I'm never blasé or unimpressed by your stitching.

I love this project too and love your updates! Well done super stitcher!

Here is page 8. Thanks for all your encouragement you really help to motivate me

And here is a photo of the whole thing so you can see how big it will be!

Oh my giddy aunt!!!!!!!!!!!
Well done Vanessa. You're nearly half way along the top row

I am in awe!! Gorgeous!

Congratulations on completing another page. You are amazing!

HOLLY COW!!!! That is going to be HUGE!!!! You are kicking tail girl! Keep up the good work and your piece will come together nicely!

Amazing as always! With the fabric that large, what are you using for a frame to keep tension as you stitch?? All that fabric has got to get bulky whatever you're using.

WOW! So much fabric!!! That really puts it into perspective!
Great progress Vanessa! Can't wait to see the angels appear
