Looking good!!

Are you doing the satins in two strands? I find them very difficult in two, but they are much easier in one strand - I'm using them on 18ct for my Summer Ball, and the coverage is fine, in fact its way too lumpy in two strands on that count.

:applesauce: Looks lovely. I haven't worked with satin threads but it looks like it would be worth the extra effort. Pretty fruit.

Satin threads can be extremely annoying but they do have a lovely sheen. The fruit looks lovely, so bright and colourful!

Yes, I am doing the satins in 2 strands - at least using the loop method it's easy to start them off, just fiddly to do the rest of the stitching!

Anyway, here's a small update - I stitched the mouse and the butterfly last night.

:applesauce: for both mouse and butterfly. The mouse is so cute and the butterfly is so pretty. That is a lovely shade of blue.

:applesauce: Great job on the antlers. Its been so long since I've done a lot of fractionals I forget how trying they can be sometimes, but with the backstitching they are perfect.
Love the updates on this one.
