Hi 
I thought I'd introduce you all to my newest project, here he is...
(hope this works), he's called Gift of the Eagle Feather, bought the kit ages ago, when DH and I decided that Las Vegas, and Grand Canyon would be part of our Honeymoon and we'd see the Native American reserve; thought he'd be a nice reminder, but we've been married over a year and I'd not even sorted the threads until last night.
I have literally just started him, he involves techniques I've never used and lots of combined colour stitching, after sorting all the threads last evening I only did about 10 rows (of cream on cream) so I'll let you all have a peek when there is something visable to see.
Looking forward to keeping up with everyone's SAL

Looking forward to seeing your progress on this! I've stitched a version of it myself - I had a printed fabric version where the ground and the sky was already coloured and I had to just stitch the Brave and the Eagle. I've seen a few different versions of the project. Be sure to keep us updated with photos of your stitching!

I have stitched this one a few years ago but I did a bit of a change on it to suit my own style. He is a great stitch I really enjoyed my time with him. Look forward to seeing your work.
