For the past little while there have been multiple distractions and calls on my time and I have done little but kit up a few projects.
Then this week I decided I wanted a project to actually stitch. This was the last in the basket and as it has been on the list since 2005 it is about time!
I remember sending to America to Criss Cross Row for the fabric and the silks for this and they have sat awaiting some love ever since.
Here's a shot taken with the macro lens to show that stitched over one on 32 count linen it is very fine. A labour of love I think but linen fabric and silk floss - what's not to love?
My days of over one on fine linen are numbered so I need to get this finished.
There are a couple of other small finishes that just need construction which I hope to fit in over the next few days. Hopefully I will be back soon with an update.

That's a great new start. It'll certainly take some time but will look so lovely when done!
That is a beautiful piece and will be gorgeous when it is complete. I am happy with over one on 32 but 28 is much easier!
My eyes hurt just thinking about all that fine stitching. Would imagine it's easier to see in daylight then by light at night? Keep us posted.

You are so right. This is going to take time.
I'm hoping I haven't bitten off more than I can chew with this one. My eyesight is not improving with age:-)
I have a really good daylight lamp and magnifying spectacles so all I need is the time to do this.
