Such lovely work. I can but admire. I don't know as I can ever do what you do. I'm completely boggled by the these gauge thread counts. I'm doing well to do 18, when you are doing in the 30's? LOL.

Well, it's the holiday Monday for the Queen's Birthday long weekend over here. And where am I? Sitting at uni waiting for my PCR reaction to finish. I guess some people have exciting weekends... but I'm not one of 'em. :P

I don't think I could stitch a Michael Powell, I *have* to backstitch as I go. Otherwise I just get really cranky with the pattern. Sometimes I start backstitching too early, and end up in a muddle when I need to frog my stitching or something. Oops.

I'm glad you described what I was looking at so I could "see" it; the stitching itself looks wonderful!

I like to save backstitching until the end too...I love watching the picture come to life as it's added!

Hi Kathryn,

I can relate about being busy on weekends. Some weeks I joke that I'm glad to go back to work on Monday so I can rest!

This weekend was nuts but school will be out on Tuesday so life will slow down a good bit and I'm ready! :-)

You have stitched quite a bit even considering how busy you are. I enjoyed seeing your earlier Michael Powell designs and you are right in that they didn't look like much until you added the back stitching. I can kind of see the shapes but it's going to look so much better once you add in the back stitching. Looking forward to seeing this design come together. :-)
