I remember seeing this one last year... wonderful progress - it's looking fantastic! :applesauce: :applesauce:
I don't know which would be worse... stitching all that white or stitching a ton of black. On one hand you're suffering snow blindness from the reflected light, on the other hand you're straining trying to see into a black hole! :lol:
Hope to see more of your updates soon!

:applesauce: I've just caught up with this thread....it's absolutely fantastic. I wish I had the patience to try one so large. Keep going at it and I look forward to seeing the end result.

Yay! :applesauce: Nice to see where you're at on this one as well. I was wondering. Good for you to finish that large section of all one colour. I haven't done that in so long I imagine I'd be mortally bored as well. We'll see since I think some upcoming WIPs need that kind of attention. Probably why they're turning into UFOs. :)

The last 2 pages ended up taking me longer than I thought - lots of confetti. I'm going to keep pushing through tho'. If I keep going, I may finish with enough time to get it framed and enter into our county fair this year. I had a nice experience last year (honestly think the piece I entered last year was nicer than this - but, I think people might find this to be interesting to look at).

Inspired by Carole's photo ham Laverne, my Rusty decided he needed to 'help' with my cross stitching last week.

Image

.....and then I had both kitties 'helping' this morning - Booter has the white on him - they were trying to see who culd get closer to my face...Booter is on my lap and Rusty climbed over him and is perched on my chest...Nice!.....needless to say - they won and I was not able to stitch 'til they were done with my lap.

Image

And finally, the latest update....only 3 more 'rows' to go.

:applesauce: great update on this one. I think it is one of the most interesting projects. :applesauce:
Not surprised that your kitties are helping. They are adorable. Too bad they slowed down the stitching. I could not stitch with two in my lap ( or one on my chest and one in my lap or take a photo either I think :lol: ).

Very, very cool! My DH just saw it and thinks you should turn it into an actual clock. :) Glad you were able to get through the confetti and :wub: the kitties!
