I am new to these boards so if nobody decides to check in I'll understand

I have had this pattern for a few years and have always thought it was too daunting. After seeing some of the projects people are working on, I think I can handle it.

It is stitched on Aida cloth 16ct. Sorry, I don't know the color of the cloth. The completed size will be 21 1/2" x 17 1/8". I will try to post picture updates weekly. I really hope I can keep at this one. I love everything related to Noah's Ark and I really can't wait to see this one framed on my wall. I know it will take a long time to finish but there are tons of little details to do so seeing progress should come quickly.

Here is a picture of the completed piece. Sorry for the glare at the top. There are no stitches underneath it.

It does look like a challenge, but think how you'll feel once you've accomplished it! It will look great and all the animals are really cute!

What a cute design! I love the little ostriches and rhinos.

Wow, thanks everyone for the warm welcome. I forgot to mention that the rainbow and the peacock both use blending filiment. It will be my first time working with it so I hope I don't have too many problems. I have read the threads here for tips and also have a few from the lady who owns the shop where I buy my supplies. Now, off to do some catch up work before I get to the stitching.

Oooh I really like the idea of blending filament in the rainbow and peacock, it'll look fantastic!

that is stunning

It's a lovely design!! I'm sure you're going to enjoy this!!
Don't let the size get you, little steps walk far miles !!
Going to enjoy seeing this grow Good luck

Well, here is my first update. It's not much but it's a start.This is from the middle of the picture and the leopards will go into the blank space. The fabric in the top picture looks really weird but I promise you it is Aida 16 count in a light blue color. Also, how do I edit the title of the thread so I can add an update date?

Great start and I love your choice of fabric!
To change the thread topic, just go to your first post in this thread click the edit button on that first post, then you will be able to change the title there. Hope that makes sense
