  2. Nearly there! I seem to have been watching this forever, God knows how you've felt stitching it. All the hard work has been worth it, it's beautiful.

  4. Almost there! It is looking very good. It would go quite nicely into the dining room of my new canal house...;)

  5. Josje , forgeddit- it is going to someone else, and I will definitely not stitch this bugger again:-) But you are welcome to the chart if you like!
    Jeffry, the chart was made by the late Joseph Boria, who traded as "The Victorian Craftsaman".

    Thank you all fro teh compliments. About a quarter of a million stitches are a lot to tackle....

  6. Elly it is absolutely gorgeous! I am still looking at that bundle of threads tucked into the folder with the chart and wondering whether I'll ever be brave enough to tackle mine, but seeing what a beauty it is.....But then my stitching isn't the quality that yours is, and I don't know whether I could commit to such a large project. You are doing a wonderful job, and yes, I can see progress.
    Hugs
