Stitching.

I have started this nice little project that is supposed to serve as a market stall sign one day. Wel, scratch the "little" - it's quite big. And I have only just started...


... embroidering.

I will keep you updated on progress - at the moment, basic maths say that I can do about 5 cm² in about ten to fifteen minutes. And I have not yet tried to calculate how long the full piece will take at that rate - but it will take a really amazing amount of time.

Wow. It will be quite striking, when it is done! Good luck.

You crazy woman! That is going to be one fabulous piece of embroidery. :) Can I ask how big is it?

Piia, you got it right - I am a crazy woman. The piece will have 65 x 77 cm once it's finished. Current work-time estimate is at about 300 hours.
Well. Think big, walk tall. (And if you are not so tall, like me, just think bigger to make up for it.)
