WISP Wednesday

I am feeling really pleased and positive about my millennium sampler this week as I have managed to spend quite a lot of time working on it and have just about completed two further areas, the 'rocket' and King John's seal. There are still a few finishing details to do on both areas but they wont take long.




As you can see I have also worked some of the border in this area as I wanted to get the the full effect of how it will look when completed.


I am going to move back down to the lower edge of the stitching to complete the next picture area which is 1492 Santa Maria, Discovery of the New World. I will then follow round the right hand side and finish with the area next to the 'Rocket' which contains the British crown. I can't make up my mind whether to stitch the middle scrolls as I go along or complete them first. I guess I'll just see how it goes this week.

    This is really an interesting project. I am going to go back and see if I can find some history of how you decided to do this.
    Really nice work.

    This is a nice project. I did a lot of counted cross stitch and I still like it, but don't have the patience for it any more.

      Thanks Annet. I know what you mean. you have to be in the right mood for counted cross stitch. I lost patience with this project hence why I am still working on it. However taking it in small chunks has put the fun back in it and as a result it is growing quite quickly.
