Well, we do have an advantage here. I'm not a professional and you guys all know me, 'personally', so helping out to make things easier is only appropriate, IMO.

Here it is broken down into 9 printable pages.
I now have to set each page up.

Here's my latest update on this--I'm going to take a break from it for a little while, and work on some other projects.

I really do love how it is stitching up--but need a wee break from all of the 311 :lol:

The moon looks great but that poor "empty" owl really needs some TLC :-)

:thinks: :thinks: would it be possible to stitch this on navy blue fabric?

It's looking fabulous! Brilliant stitching and a really amazing chart Mr Rick.

I think stitching it on blue or even black fabrics would work, but I do also like the stitched blue, you get a different effect but both will be ver y effective.

I agree about the owl Mabel, but.....I really want to save him for last :lol: .....just as a reward for stitching all of the background. Yes, I had thought of using navy aida, but since I didn't have any on hand, and also it's so hard on my eyes, I figured I would tough it out and stitch it as charted--it's not too bad, so, maybe, I'll use it as a weekend project til it's finished :D

:applesauce: :applesauce: Great update. Your stitching and Mr. Rick's design are a fantastic combo for this design. I find that stitching a lot of background is good for those times when watching a show that really requires more visual attention (So You Think You Can Dance, for eg.). I don't have to worry as much about counting and it makes the stitching feel less like a chore. Looking forward to seeing the owl come to life too!

Amazing work from you both....karen...i don't think it is necc "aging eyes" I supposedly have 20x20 vision...I don't agree...I have to use reading glasses (they say my eye muscles are just lazy and they don't want to focus...LOL) I have seen two different docs that both said I had 20zx20 vision...LoL and gave the same reasons....

Anyways on my starry night I am in a section that has N and Z as the symbol and it can be a bit confusing I think its the brain when they are similar like this it sort of transposes for us hehe
