I can't imagine stitching with six strands. Glad the thread heaven is helping.

He really does look menacing the way he's stalking his way out of the picture. Beautiful.

Lovely stitching.

:D
He's actually looming quite large now! His entire attitude breathes menace, doesn't it? I think he will make quite a visual impact when he is complete and framed (the frame should keep him inside the picture! :wink: ) :lol:

You aren't kidding! :shock: :shock: They are! There are also some with 5 and others with 4. They will seem a doddle in comparison, I suspect! :lol:

And thanks to everyone for kind comments. :D

Not progressed much since my last update, but I thought it was about time I updated again anyway!
I have been too busy to do much much stitching cos I've been getting my house back into some sort of order since my son left on 1st Aug. Finally got a place of his own after 4 and a half years with me. I love him dearly, but I am SO glad to have my home back! :D I have room to breathe again! :dance: :dance: :dance:

:applesauce: Looking really good. Every bit of progress counts and you have certainly done well. The background is really pretty and sets the tiger off nicely.

Bit more done... just got hind leg and tail to complete and the tiger is finished - then it's just the background with all that 6, 5 and 4 thread half-crosses. :baby: :tea: Oh, and the backstitching - though there isn't really a lot of that.

Thank you! Actually, I've had rather less time - all that moving stuff around to make my home my own again, and finding stuff I'd forgotten I possessed! :lol:

He is looking great and you are going well with him.

Isn't it great to get your home back to yourself again. A GS has moved back in here with his Dad for a while - Grrrrrrrrrrrrrr. Still we don't see a lot of him which is good I guess and he keeps the sound levels down on all his electronic gear.

He is beautiful! Good luck with all the half crosses -- backgrounds can be a bit of a pain but he is going to be worth it!
