Here's the day by day progress I made from (1) Saturday AM, (2) Saturday PM, (3) Sunday, and (4) Monday during the snowstorm:
Since then things have gone a little slower since, you know, I had to go back to work and be a responsible adult and not sit on the couch and sew most of the day. Here's what it looked like last night.
The next step will be continuing with the flowers (the peach areas scattered around the bottom) and the neck of the bird.
Happy Tuesday!
You are so fast! My first crafting adventures prior to quilting were cross stitch things too. I have a sheep I need to finish in order to get it framed with the companion pig and cow I made over 21 years ago. Cross stitching is much more difficult for me now with my old tired eyes, but it is nostalgic!
ReplyDeleteI haven't cross stitched in years, but this makes me want to start up again. It's so gorgeous. It's just my thing, a large dense project. Just gorgeous! Let us see it when you finish. So beautiful.
ReplyDeleteWow, Alison, so pretty, the colors and the motif. Hat's off to you for having the patience.
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely fabulous! I've wanted to do a peacock redwork embroidery project for quite some time so i can understand why you'd choose this pattern! I usually stick more to redwork than cross stitch but your stitching is admirable that is for sure :-)

ReplyDeleteIt's beautiful! Cross stitch was the first type of needlework I learned years ago :)
ReplyDeleteVery pretty. I used to do a lot of counted cross stitch, now all I have time for is quilting.
ReplyDeleteThat is a beautiful pattern, and you are doing such a beautiful job on it!! That's lots of hand stitching!! Hugs, H
