Three Flowers

I've the outlines of three flowers now.  Just need to fill them in.

Climbing The Fabric

There is just so much of this to stitch! I've been working on it for nearly a month now and am only halfway through the part for this period.  I think it's looking pretty, even if the silk serica is a pain to work with.

Still Monochromatic

More and more brown, although I'm stitching around the berries and flowers now.  I am so going to have to start the other side soon.  Most likely, I won't grid or use markers, but use temporary pins to mark start points.

Filling In Again

Working on this project, it seems I race ahead with a bunch of little confetti stitches then come back and fill in the rest.  I'm in a filling in stage at the moment.  I'm also past the mistake I made before.  Can you even tell it's there?  I can't unless I look at the chart.  I've got 160 rows done and the total is 240.  A full two thirds complete.

Outlines

The outlines of castle walls are visible now, and there's a tree in the middle in full leaf.

Bits of Brown

Did some work on the stables and on the middle building. Not much difference, especially on the backstitching on the side.

First Bottom Stitches

I've come to a small part of the bottom of the design on the left.... maybe I'll get this done!
