Hi everyone
Well I have asked the daddy of the little girl i watch for pemission to show the pic I am stitching of her as it progresses and the final piece and he has said yes :o) . So here goes .I started about the end of June and after 2 weeks I had managed to get 8 rows done as you change colors almost every stitch in it ,but after looking at it Iwas not happy and changed the material and after a week I am at 6 rows now and happy with how it is looking so far .So this is the first of many pics of this piece to come.Out of all the pieces I have done over the years this has to be my biggest piece

Well off to the strawberry patch

I am not sure now as I changed the material .It was suppose to be done on aida and I am doing even weave.If I figured out the stitches right there are almost 16,000 .That was enough to almost scare me off but this is such a pretty picture I have been wanting to do it lol

Hi Michelle
Actually the stitching is going really good , the only thing for this pic is that you have to change colors almost every stitch which is time consuming but so worth it :o) .
