First the tapestry and now a large project over one on black fabric. Should I make you a scourge from brightly colored floss and a bunch of sharp-edged Mill Hill treasures? :)

It's going to be a beautiful project.

Happily, there are quite large areas of the same colour to stitch - as well as a lot of fiddly little bits that are close to confetti, and some real confetti. I'm doing the bigger patches of colour at the moment - it'll slow down with the fiddly bits. :wink:

Thanks everyone! It's going slowly with all the fiddly bits and confetti, but I've completed the top edge of the flame and have started on the lower edge of it. Will post a pic when flame complete. :)
