Wow, this looks amazing! You have such a beautiful dog! I love the garden background in the picture too!

Great progress, Sarah!

This comeing along well

great progress

Fabulous to see Trojan again he looking good!!!

Love it, I have only just seen this one, your boy reminds me of a next door neighbour who had one called Trojan too, he wa a darling and thick on the odd occasion! Sarah you have reminded me that I have a chart of my Border Collie - Bud, it was the best picture I had of him and I got it charted but could never start it for some reason? Well Bud is chasing sticks in a better world I hope now? Boy do I miss him, maybe it is time to get his chart out now? By the way, I loved your photo, the 'rear of the year' made me howl! We have been away in our caravan for four out of the last five weeks, we go to a beach site so our collie never gets dirty with mud, perfect, he was actually depressed when we came home, so was I! You could have stitched with me instead of the car had you been on our site.
Happy Stitching

Glen, my Trojan is a great big softie - I got him at seven weeks old just after I'd seen the film "Troy" which is how he got his name. He was so little I had to lift him up and down the door step to my house as he couldn't make it! Now he's over 7 stone and has paws bigger than my hands - he's as soft as butter with me, but the minute anyone comes in my yard he's throwing himself at the door and snarling like the Hounds of the Baskervilles, hahahaha. It's good because I live on my own, but I'm never worried about going out after dark or going to the cash machine with my big furry bodyguard and I certainly don't have to worry about burglars when I'm out!

The "rear end of the year" picture is hilarious isn't it? Isn't it funny how you sometimes take a picture of something and then later realise there's something else in it which shouldn't be there, hahahaha.

Anyway, this project has replaced my UFO for UFO week now as I've finished the sampler I was doing. I've finished the current page of the chart so here's the piccie - it's in the UFO thread as well.

This is simply gorgeous!

He is looking lovely

good to see Trojan again Sarah, he is coming on beautifully. Love the 'little' extra in your picture as well.

Great progress on this, Sarah!

Aww, I'm glad we've got Trojan back again. He's looking great.

Although Trojan is my current UFO, I will keep updating this thread as well, so simply a picture of my progress over the last week - one more page of the chart done. One more full page and two half pages left to go.

He's looking great! Great work so far!
