Progress!
I initially struggled with the backstitch papyrus motif but then adjusted my attack. I got into a good groove and now I can do those things without checking the pattern.
The center panel was SO FAST after the border. So pleased.
But now I'm back to borderland. /wah
I love stitching borders! And this is a pretty fabulous one.
ReplyDeleteNice to see more of the piece- this is going to be stunning.
Thanks! And I think I've finally figured out my border groove with this one, so I'm not as miserable as I think I want to be with it ;)
DeleteGorgeous! I love the birds on the sides :)
ReplyDeleteThanks! I like them quite a bit, too. I think the falcons, the lily panel (I don't know why, maybe because of the border, but I don't love the papyrii so much), and the vulture panel are my favorites. I cannot WAIT to get to that vulture panel.
