Cross Stitch Update

Hi!

    Since I've been less active, due to an injury to my Achilles Tendon, I've filled my sitting around time with Cross Stitch.  I purchased the supplies for 3 smaller pieces, 1 very large piece and 1 extremely large piece at the same time 4 years ago, and I've not completed any of them.  So I committed myself to putting aside the 3 smaller pieces (Maggie the Mess Maker, Frederick the Literate and Leonardo) for a time.  I put aside the extremely large piece as well, (The Sistine Chapel) and focused solely on the large piece (Noah's Sub).  This has turned out to be a good idea, the Noah's Sub is almost finished in terms of stitching, I should have all the stitching done my Monday, then I can go back and outline.  I should have the entire piece ready for framing before Christmas.  Yeah, then I will focus on The Sistine Chapel.  The 3 smaller pieces will become traveling pieces, and pieces I work on when I need a break from the big piece.

Center Scene, Creation of Eve, 1/2 done, Joanna Lopianowski-Roberts design of The Sistine Chapel.  When finished it will be 40"x 80" if done on 14 ct Aida, I'm using Antique White Linen 28 ct.
