Nice start, Gary, and thanks for your service!

Good to see you back, and your start on The Accolade looks great!!

Funnily enough, I tried to go to Germany from England - that's when they sent me to Clovis! If you find a Katzenbarger or Seibert brewer over there, it's supposed to be a veryyyy distant relative of mine - stop & have a stein for me As close as I ever got was a Labor Day weekend spent in Amsterdam...

Welcome back, Gary. How many stitches across is that?

It is a little more than the first 10x10 block. Slow and Steady..thats my philosphy..lol...of course the back is looking atrocious...i cant believe how many single stitiches in such a small area..jeeeshh...I have been trying to come up with ways to make it look at least a little bit neater..Any suggestions...I will figure something out hopefully to my satisfaction..i mean it doesnt have to be perfectly neat..just manageable..lol...any way RIFE i will be on the look out for those breweries..and have a stein for you..lol...In fact i am going up to Spangdalhem next weekend to visit some freinds of mine and then heading up to Amsterdam on Saturday...cant wait to go to the Louvre this summer and see some of the actual paintings that these wonderful cross stitch patterns come from.Well talk to you all later...good luck and happy stitching

Hey Gary, great start! Glad you're enjoying Germany and getting motivated on your stitching again!
