Hi everyone! It's been a busy three weeks -- sometimes I really think it can't possibly be three weeks since the last check-in, so I go back and look... yep. Three.
I did get some key stitching done, but it still feels very empty... I stitched the "ground" sections:
I've done most of the outlining on the central leaves:
And done some of the feather outlining on the left swan:
Next steps: finish the feather outlining. Fill in the leaves. Start filling in the pale blue background. Just keep moving forward!
At the risk of sounding WAY more jet-set than we really are, I'm writing this post a bit early as we'll be en route to China for a week's holiday on November 11. So apologies if I'm missing any last-minute changes!

My goodness, you've certainly done a lot of foundation work. Things will go so fast when you start filling in.
ReplyDeleteAmazing progress. Well done and enjoy the trip to China :-)
ReplyDeleteI've never done this kind of outline stitching on canvas work. Might have to give it a try sometime. This is going to be another gorgeous piece (pillow?). Enjoy China!
ReplyDeleteI think you have done a monumental job of prepping here, the fill in will be so smooth and quick! Enjoy your trip! Did you go as a tour or on your own?
ReplyDeleteGreat progress! Hope you are having a nice trip to China!!!!
ReplyDeleteLooks great. Have a wonderful time in China.
