Just a quick visit here to show you my progress today on the beautiful harbour scene Tranquil Harbour by Lucie Heaton.
This is where I put it down after my first session:
And this is where I stopped tonight after stitching all afternoon and evening...

I'm very pleased with myself! I would say that normally I'm quite a slow stitcher, but for some reason - and although I was really tired today - my needle was flying! Now you can make out the hills in the background and more houses including ceilings on the quay. It's so inspiring to work on a picture when you can see it coming alive in front of you!
Tomorrow I have a dreaded date with lots of laundry and a hoover so sadly there won't be much time or energy for stitching… 😢
Hope you're all doing ok. Here we have had more hailstorms, snowflakes and rain the last few days… doesn't exactly feel like spring😳. But at least it's good weather for staying indoors and stitch for hours😉.
Happy Stitching,
Annie
Super progress! I love the colors :)
ReplyDeleteThank you! It's a lovely summery project, isn't it?!
DeleteThat is lovely! And you're so good about gridding. I'm so impatient.
ReplyDeleteThese days I go nuts if I don't have the grids. In the beginning I didn't really like spending a couple of hours on them BEFORE stitching, but once I realised how much the grids help me...well, it was a no-brainer, haha.
DeleteGorgeous progress!
