It's time for me to share my progress on Three Boats with everyone.
Three weeks ago I joined this SAL and showed the meager beginnings of this large piece....all black.
I have added another 100+ stitches and finally have a little bit of color.

I am also joining Kathy for some Slow Sunday Stitching. Pop on over to her site to see what other bloggers are stitching. I think I will add some stitches to Three Boats today.
Thanks for stopping by!
A great start its so good to have a project on the go.
ReplyDeleteI am enjoying this very long term project.
DeleteGreat progress, especially when it's all dark colours! It always amazes me just how many stitches there are in even a small piece of cross-stitch!
ReplyDeleteGreat progress, and I'm sure took lots of concentration when the stitches are so dark. Looking forward to seeing this grow! Jenny xx
ReplyDeleteI have my back to a bright window in order to work on this. The rainy days we have been having make working on this difficult.
DeleteThat looks like a project that needs your undivided attention! I don't really like stitching with white thread but am getting thru it. Not sure I have what it takes to do something this intricate!
ReplyDeleteLooks like you have made great progress!
ReplyDeleteThat is well done indeed, Cathie. I hope the stitching is a good distraction for you, I pray for the people of New York, glad to know you are safe and well.
ReplyDeleteI bet it feels good to add a bit of colour. Nice progress :-)
ReplyDeleteThank you. Now it is back to stitching some black.
DeleteNicely done. I have an HAED pattern that had something like 14 different dark browns in a 100 stitch square. It was, and is, still quite daunting. I stalled at the beginning and ended up going left to right in the pattern so I could get a different colour other than brown.
ReplyDeleteKeep at it. It will be worth it.
My last Artecy design had some big parts that were all black and brown confetti stitches. This at least is one big swath of black right now.
DeleteYou are making great progress on your lovely cross stitch. I take my hat off to you for stitching all those dark colours.
ReplyDeleteIt's always good to see a little blue sky peeking through the trees! Each day I bet you'll see a little more.
ReplyDeleteYou are moving your piece along which is the main thing. Happy Stitching!
ReplyDeleteGreat progress! Stitching only black is boring, so I guess you´re happier now :)
ReplyDeleteI am back to black now and there is a whole lot of it. Added another 100 stitches yesterday.
DeleteGlad you are adding some color now. It looks nice.
ReplyDeleteI am back stitching in black right now. It will get done though.
Deletebeautiful beginnings!!
ReplyDeleteYou've gotten a good start on the new project. With such tiny stitches, that has to have taken a bit of time to get that far!
ReplyDeleteThis is going to be beautiful and you are off to a wonderful start!
