I'm doing a mini happy dance here....okay, maybe just a single skip. I have finished page #8 of Three Boats on a Tropical Beach. It is the 6th page that I have completed out of 24. I am working in columns. Column 1 was pages 1,7,13 and 19. Column 2 (that I am currently working on) is pages 2,8,14 and 20. I am about to start page 14. This is how Three Boats looked three weeks ago.
This is how it looks now.
I finished the page yesterday morning. There were so many confetti stitches to complete at the bottom of this page. Do you see this rock formation?
Yesterday, I was adding tons individual stitches. There was 1 stitch in that rock formation that had the floss symbol "5". Just one stitch! Three stitches had the floss symbol "V". You get the picture. I am more than happy to be moving on the the next page which doesn't seem to have quite so many scattered stitches.

Three Boats is looking so fabulous, Cathie. Love, love, love that sky and all those floss colour changes...just wow.
ReplyDeleteSo much detail in this picture! Congratulations on finishing another page! There must be boats on the next page…. Gail at the cozy quilter
ReplyDeleteIt's looking good! I feel you about the confetti. The background on my Mead Dragon has a lot of scattered stitches, but luckily only a very few singletons.
ReplyDeleteLove seeing the progress, and you are really making it! Happy stitching!
ReplyDeleteI hate stitching confetti, though the detail is well worth the effort and this is such a beautiful piece of work. Santa is just one thread which has been a lovely break after stitching Wildlife x
ReplyDeleteYes the resulting detail is worth the effort to stitch the confetti, but it is annoying while you are stitching it.
DeleteLooks wonderful , have fun hugs June.
ReplyDeleteThat is an amazing design! I wonder how you keep track when parts of each column are on different pages. It is looking lovely, Cathie!
ReplyDeleteGreat progress! I'm on board for a mini happy dance rather than a skip lol!
ReplyDeleteYeah, skipping might be a little much for me, though I should practice as my little granddaughter will be skipping soon and will have to join in.
DeleteThat's looking wonderful!!
ReplyDeleteThank you
DeleteOh well done!
ReplyDeleteThank you.
DeleteSo stitch intensive. Every completee page deserves a happy dance!
ReplyDeleteEspecially when there are 24 pages.
Deletecongrats on another page completed! I hope you bought yourself a little present to celebrate - I love when you share your progress.
ReplyDeleteThe confetti is what gives this picture so much detail. The colours are stunning!
ReplyDeleteYes, I do like the effect of the details with the confetti stitching, but I don't have to like all those single stitches. The colors are very cheerful.
DeleteWow ~ this is looking fabulous!
ReplyDeleteThank you.
DeleteThe detail on this piece is spectacular -- your work is definitely "worth it". And you deserve at least a little happy dance for finishing a page!
ReplyDeleteThank you so much.
DeleteI have done many complicated patterns that have single stitches ... so I feel your pain - LOL! This piece is SO beautiful - well done for your perseverance - it so cool to see the photos with major progress! I am #17 on Kathy's Slow Sunday Stitching this week if you would like to visit!
ReplyDeleteGreat progress!
ReplyDeleteThank you.
DeleteHi Cathie: Congratulations on your progress, that is a load of stitching.
