Thank you for all your kind words. So encouraging!
It is such a large chart with small symbols that I enlarged it unto several pages. This afternoon, I was struggling between two pages, which overlapped each other. My DH came to the rescue and cut the excess from one page and stuck the 2 pages together. I cannot cut in a straight line, so that was really helpful!

Thank you very much for your kind words
The second hand is finished ( It is the last bit of stitching 1 over 1) and I started the second wing.
Thank you for looking.

Absolutely awesome Helene. You are making excellent progress.
I bet you heaved a sigh of relief once the 1/1 stitching was finished:)

Glad to see stubbornness triumphed while stitching the face!
I've never done 1 over 1 full cross on 28 ct, but I'm 40,000 stiches into each of 2 projects entirely 2 over 1 tent stitch on 28 ct, so I can sympathise on how much concentration you must have put in. And also see the magnitude of the effort you've had to put in so far. I think you're doing a brilliant job. Congratulations. It must almost feel as if it's flying by now you're onto the 14ct areas.
Regards,
Richard.

Thank you, you are really kind and it helps!
On you tube, I saw a video comparing 1 over 1 full cross on evenweave and 2 over one tent stitch also on evenweave. There is hardly any difference.
The results will be amazing, being stitched 2 over one on the entire design!
Wow, my 1/1 area of stitching is nothing compare to 40,000 stitches! As you said before, it is one stitch at a time and I made sure that I was very careful forming each of them as her face is crucial to the design.richardandtracy wrote:I'm 40,000 stiches into each of 2 projects entirely 2 over 1 tent stitch on 28 ct,
