A bit later than planned but here's the first picture. I think I've done about 750 stitches so far. So only about 104,750 to go!

Kelly, the pattern is from the Scarlet Quince website.

:dance: Looks very lovely and loads of combined threads being used already too. I also was wondering what kind of fabric you are using, it's quite different!!

The fabric is 18ct aida (which SQ recommend) in natural from sewandso. The natural colour is 100% linen and it does seem to be a bit thinner and a bit more uneven than other aidas. I'm still in two minds as to whether I like it or not but I did want the canvas effect given that this is originally a painting on canvas.

Karen - I have yet to use a single solid colour :shock: I think I'm up to just over 30 different blends in this section alone :shock: :shock:

30 colors in 750 stitches... That hurts my head... My sympathies :hug: It's looking absolutely gorgeous though. The blending of the colors looks amazing even so soon into the design

I never would have guessed it was aida cloth as it just looks so different from what I've ever seen.

I think the fabric looks fantastic and perfect for the design. As for the wonderful stitching so far with those lovely blends....
Good luck!!

Just over half way through page 1 now. It's slow progress with the blends and confetti but there's a bit over 4,000 stitches on it so I feel like I'm getting somewhere. I also really like that the detail starts appearing so quickly.
