Someone asked, so even though these aren’t finished yet, here is D through H.
D, E, and G are finished except for the borders. The letter F itself is finished, there is just topstitching to do. Most of the vacant area to the right of the F will be filled with this stuff. Recall that this is 22-count fabric so the little leaves are REALLY tiny. I had to figure out a good order to do these little figures so that the stitches support each other instead of pulling under the threads in the fabric. Obviously there’s a lot to do on the H, but I feel very happy with my progress. I started this in late June so this is a little over 4 months and it’s a LOT of stitches.
Coming up are some letters that will have some red topstitching over white crosses. I haven’t figured out yet what the closest shade of red is. J has just a little but P is almost solid white with a feather topstitched in red. I’m looking forward to that … not because I like topstitching, anything but, but it will be different.
I've been using SQ Stitch since you first made it available, and it is absolutely, totally brilliant!! It is such an unbelievable improvement over having to manually search for stitches on a printed chart and manually colour each stitch in when completed.

15 years, 5 months agoThis is looking FABULOUS!!!! Almost 1/3 done already!!! It would take me ages to get this far – well done!!
It IS almost 1/3, isn’t it? I hadn’t thought about that. Good for me!! It’s the election, frankly — it will probably slow down from here, assuming I stop watching so much news.

15 years, 5 months agoWow, that is just looking sumptuous. I’ve never been a fan of stitching the alphabet (why????), but this one takes the cake. Absolutely divine!
