I can't put it down---well I can but it keeps calling me back.
I have decided to take it out of the wooden frame which it was in as I found it to heavy for me to handle.
My little fat hands were aching from trying to hold it up
We had marked the canvas out into 4 squares which meant that I was able to cut the squares out and sew each one into a piece of calico and then hoop them up into a lighter round frame.
I have added to three more squares--the top right corner is done in Raised Chain Band and I used a hand dyed silk ribbon--the second row left side is a metal "thing" to which I have added fat Bullion knots and some French Knots and the third row on the left side is a variation on Cashmere stitch worked in two different threads.
I have added a bit more to this row mainly in Wheatsheaf Stitch and various threads.
.
I hope you enjoy looking at these and I am sorry that you can't enlarge them but I don't know how to fix the problem.

They enlarged for me too Doreen. Love what you are doing. Have a fabulous cruise. I hope the weather is kind to you and not too windy. cheers.
I also was able to enlarge them. The new stitching is beautiful. I especially like the "metal" area and the wheatsheaf row.
I could enlarge them too Doreen. This looks great - are you planning to frame it or make it into something?
I know of a very nice embroidery store in Wellington! ...just saying...
