Made good progress this week after a hard day at the office. Donkey and cow have hair and ears, sheep have their ears, alk humans now have hands, and Mary has a finished cloak and a Holy Baby!! Oh, and the Big Onion is finally complete. I prefer my BFF's variation on the theme here though.
I have a handful of stitching required for the stones in the path, and then a whole host of backstitch to do.
And then I might start to catch up with my BFF. I only managed to fit in one of my free hours last week, and entirely forgot about the picture to prove it! So this week I have a free hour left to work on some of that catch up.
This is the disadvantage of working on a shared pattern. I would have been quite happy with the pace at which it's progressing, as it will be done well in time for Christmas. But because I can see how much further my BFF's is going, I feel there's pressure to catch up so we can work on the new bit, the fancy stitch for the central star, together.
Check out my BFF's update on http://apatchworkofcrafts.blogspot.com
Your animals have much more defined hair in the pattern shades. And hey as agreed I am happy to pause and work on an unrelated project till you are ready for stars, there was a lot of stitching in that there big onion!

ReplyDeleteOne stitch at at time, you'll get there. It does look lovely so far.
