I am making a bit of progress on backstitching on this one. I personally think it looks horrible, so don't look too closely. It makes me mad, too, because of all the time I put in on this and now I feel like the back stitching is ruining it. Sigh....but, stitch on I will, and then I will frame it and it hang it REALLY high up on the wall. (I have 12 foot ceilings, so...) That way people can look at it from afar, and not be appalled at the backstitching! LOL...I MUST finish this! I just have to. I've come so far on it, I can't abandon it now.
I have finished backstitching on pages 5, 4 and 1, so I only have 6 more pages of backstitching to get done. Wish me luck!
See yah for another stitchy year in 2014!!

What are you on about??? This is BEAUTIFUL!! Be proud, you're doing a fantastic job :) Wishing you a Merry Christmas xx
I think it's lovely! And yes, backstitching can be a real pita (that's pain in the a$$) but it really makes the work pop and brings out all the lovely details!
I find when I have a piece that is backstitch heavy, I do it as I go, so I'm not stuck at the end working in the backstitch doldrums.
Beautiful work, by the way!
i have a wip that just needs its backstitch so can sympathise in some way with you ... i normally love backstitch but on that particular one its such a pain in the proverbial that it makes you hate backstitch but it needs in my case to bring out the details :(
this btw looks fantastic!!!!
I know it's easy for someone else to say, but it looks great. I have to admit that this isn't my normally taste, but I'm always really drawn to it when I see you progress!
Wow! It is gorgeous. I love the colors.
