Absoultely stunning! Looks just like he is really to pounce at me!

Thanks, everyone!



I know this doesn't look like much progress from my last update, but I have now filled in all the confetti 'splash' stitches in the areas already stitched:


Close up of confetti in the darker area. Sorry the photo quality isn't up to much. I WILL keep using camera without stand, and my hands are not rock-steady!

Great Update. He is so awesome.

I still can't get over the 6 strand stitches. He looks amazing!

Just Stunning!!!

Looks stunning!!!

Looking fantastic!!!

it is amazing the difference it makes when the confetti for the water is added

Thanks, everyone. Another update in a couple of days, hopefully - but I have youngest grandson for most of weekend, and 8yr olds are not conducive to sewing!

That confetti makes it look so realistic!! Great update, and can't wait to see more!

Hope this isn't too wide! Managed to get more stitching done than I thought I would. Had some 6-strand to do - the rest of the blue area - and it seemed a bit easier than before. Guess what? I checked and I have developed calluses on my forefinger and thumb! No wonder it was easier to do! I didn't really believe I would when I said it earlier, but I have.

I am overwhelmed by your being able to do 6 strands for one xstitch. But the effect is really amazing and this is so well done. He is so majestic. Great update.

Carol, apart from the tiger himself, which is normal 2-strand X-stitch, the rest is tent stitch /. I think I would be heroic doing 6-strand X-stitch - or mad!

Another update soon - I want to at least get a few stitches at the bottom left corner first!

tent stitch makes a bit more sense. still, that is a lot to do for a tent stitch. Looking forward to the next update.

Thanks, Carole! And here it is:



I just had to get to the bottom left corner! It's funny, but it makes me feel closer to completion, somehow.

Looks brilliant.

what a fantastic update!! You've really made great progress on this guy!! Great stitching

Great Update. You are making really good progress on this one.
