Looks gorgeous

Fantastic!

Wow, you've got loads done and she's looking beautiful!

This is truly amazing work. I liked the pic on the chair, it showed the scale of the project. Forgive me if you have mentioned this already, but how many threads are you using? 1 or 2? The coverage is excellent.

what? you are actually 10 pages further along than this? Goodness! You are amazing me!

You're racing through this! She's looking stunning.

I'm using 2 strands, tent stitched (28ct), I did want to make sure I got as good coverage as possible with most of the colours being dark... but also wanted to do it in tent stitch as it's twice as fast! I've got some 25ct which I'm planning to use on one of my lighter-coloured HAEDs as it goes well with a lighter, sketchier feel with them. But for any darker coloured ones I think I'll stick with this

Next picture coming up soon! I just need to update my percent bar....

Time for an update again. This is I think 4 or even 5 pages in to the 3rd row, as a couple were just background so wouldn't have been very interesting to look at --

The full page is done but the side looks wonky as part of it's her arm so the pale skin doesn't stand out.
I quite like it on this background too, if you haven't already guessed I usually take the pictures of this on the bed, so it gets the covers as the background & this is one of my favourites. Bedcover designs are one of my weaknesses!

Fantastic, Louise, you're steaming ahead with this now! The colours are so rich and beautiful, I love it.

Shes gorgeous and well done for such lovely stitching on 28ct fabric

great work.

This is gorgeous and will look even more gorgeous when you've finished it

Stunning! And you are right about the bedcover, too! A perfect background for it.

Looks great it is nice to see the update.

It's looking so GREAT!

This is simply amazing!!! You would never believe it was even a cross stitch. The face looks SO realistic. Absolutely love it!!!! Makes me want to pick up my HAED again because you forget how wonderful they are!

Fabulous
