I don't remember, are there beads in this one?
Thanks! No, there aren't any beads in this one. It was a kit, but I don't think even the chart version of that design has beads. :thinks:

Then you really will be done soon! It doesn't look like it needs them, I just thought JE usually put them everywhere. ;)

There is a lot of backstitch to do as well, but yeah, I'm really getting close to done. I have an area of 57 h x 180 w left at the bottom and then a 100 w x 20 h section above that but below what I've already stitched. So about 12k stitches plus all the backstitch.

Thanks!

Brooklynne, you're not slow! I just have a lot of stitching time. I got a good 30+ hours of stitching in for this rotation.

Thanks!

It's a chart that skitzzzzz made for me: Image

I need to get something else to grid with for it since I'm stitching on black fabric. I tried using my fishing line, but it's really hard to see.

Thanks everyone. I'm working on another small project until I manage to get some money from babysitting so I can buy something for gridding. I don't wash my pieces, so I don't want to use anything waxy for gridding.

Only just caught up with this one. Your stitching is beautifully neat and I love the colours in her dress.

Here's progress from the last two nights. Turn back a page and you can see where I last left off. Anyway, it's hard to see in the picture, but there's about a 1:1 ratio of green to white stitches in that section on the left. You'll be able to see them when I add in the pinks and reds. That section will be the same "print" as the one just a little to the right with the pinks and reds and little flowers.
