The Worst Bit.....

Back stitching your work once the cross stitch has been completed! (though I am finding small bits that I haven't even cross stitched!). A necessary evil, because it does make things stand out more. This house which has featured on my project before & has taken me for ever to do, is in danger of actually being finished!

Backstitching? What's that?

Well done for sticking at it . I had a kit for Christmas that I must look at.

Looks like a lovely piece of handwork

[Judith Johnson]

It's lovely. I guess you're doing the outlining stitch, which is always tedious, but as you say, a necessary evil!

[Rob Z]

So much work involved in this - it is looking lovely.

[Phil Sandford]

When you have completed this, I think there are at least 2 none started ones in the cupboards.

[Beverley]

Looks a lovely design.

Beautiful work Carole!

[Kathy A]

That looks interesting, nice colour. I've got quite a few somewhere that are either semi started or not started.

Lovely

[Babs]

It is coming along nicely.

[Ann H. LeFevre]

It looks great- I wish I could still hold a needle. I enjoyed cross stitch when I used to do it. I hope we get to see the complete picture someday.

That should be the best part, because it means your on your last straight line, approaching the finish! Well done for you! That work looks great. As for little imperfections, those give the hand.made character. Embrace and rejoyce them. There's not going to be another one like this.

Such a beautiful detailed shot!

Looks like a lot of work, but it's beautiful!

[Renee Salamon]

Wow, that looks amazingly neat
