Insides Stitched

All the major backstitching and special stitches are done. It's time to start the beading.

 

Backstitching Along

All the big elements are in place; now it's time to backstitch around them.

 

All Fenced Up

Yay, all the fences are done. Time to get some beading on.

 

Building Fences

With all the cross stitch done, it's time to do a god awful amount of back stitch. Working on getting all the fences done.

 

Need More Fences

I've got all the cross stitches done, yay! Now to add more black fences and more back and specialty stitches. Then the last step - beads!

 

Cross Stitched

Finally all the cross stitches are done. On to the specialty stitches and beads.

 

Never Ending Border

Still working on this border; I hope to get it all done soon.

 

Still on the Edge

This last part is coming along, even if slowly. About one and a quarter sides to go.

 

Half the Third

Third side getting there! I feel so bad about not getting this done by the end of last year. I've been unable to stitch much lately because of other things going on. Hopefully by next month that will all be over.

 

Working Around the Edge

Still working around the edges, but well over halfway done now. The end is in sight.

 

Sideways, But Two Sided

Halfway done with the last part, but so much backstitching left to do.

 

Two Sided

Two sides done on the last part. Feeling accomplished.

 

Nearly Two Sides

Almost two sides of edging done. Still want to finish this before the end of the year.

 

Close to Half Round

So very close to being halfway around.

 

Working on Crenellations

Putting crenellations on the right side house as I work my way down that side.

 

More than One and a Half Sides

Still working on the sides. Getting close to the second side done.

 

Crenellations and Flowers

Rotated a bit, but still progress to show. Almost halfway down the second side. I really do hope to finish this before the end of the year. Also, more crenellations done too.

 

Still on Second Side

Nearly halfway down the second side and a bit more stitching done on crennelations.

 

Slowly I Border

Little bits of border done. At least I'm doing some of the inner extra stitches at the same time to get them done. I feel so slow.

 

One Corner Rounded

On to start the second side, and I have one fence backstitched.
