I had today off from work and have several hours of uninterrupted stitching time this afternoon, and voila...I'm almost done! I did get a little tired as I'm not used to stitching for several hours at once, so I think I'll stop here for the day, but I am pleased that I managed to get as much done as I did. I'm an extremely slow over-one stitcher I must say and those solid blocks of color can be hard--especially when using a dark color like black. The floss seems to get lost in the linen and I can't see where my needle is supposed to go. I'm using 32 count linen, but I can't imagine using anything smaller and something larger would probably be even easier! Not much left to go now. I'm hoping I will finish by the end of next weekend at the latest, though I'm not sure I'll doing the sewing on it. I plan on finishing it into a cushion and have fabric in mind.
And I'm already contemplating starting something new! Of course I have several other projects that require attention as well...
