Snow days make for great stitching time...not to mention chocolate cupcake baking. :)
I have had long breaks of not stitching on "Gathering Honey", and I'm just ready to knock it out. It has been a WIP for five years! While it is a large design with many color changes, half- and quarter-stitches, it would not have taken more than six months if worked on diligently. Since I didn't put a time line on it or schedule specific times to cross stitch it, well...let's just say life got in the way...a lot.
Above is the progress as of yesterday. It will need to be cleaned and pressed (pardon the wrinkles), but it's come a long way. The left side still needs to be back-stitched on the frame, bees and flowers in the top left corner. I think there is one more bee to be stitched just under those flowers, too. I'm so glad to be on the home stretch!

I have this chart and you have always inspired me with your updates on it. It is just GORGEOUS!
very beautiful, it looks challenging with all the different stitches, I would also take forever to finish it ;-)
Wow, that is really pretty and intricately done. Love it!
