Hopefully you all aren't totally bored with these monogamous project updates on the Mead Dragon during Full Coverage February. I stitched 1,448 stitches this week, which brings me to 4,293 stitches for the month, 7,933 stitches for the year and 91,395 for the project = 96.71%.
This week, I focused on the area of reflections under the drinking horn and got it filled in pretty well, though there's still a couple of colors missing. Speaking of colors - I finished color completing seven floss colors and have only six shades remaining. All but two of them of them are dark colors that occur mostly in the background. I think after I finish the next two colors that are primarily in that center section, I will go back to the typewriter method and complete a row at a time. I did get the background down to the start of row 333 of 350.

And here's where I was last week
And at the beginning of the month.

Amazing how this project looks 3-d —so much detail in the shading. Not much more to stitch and it will be done! Gail at the cozy quilter
ReplyDeleteYour small stitches are so impressive. Yes, the reflections are pretty. It so looks like a photo vs. a cross stitch project with the way everything is filled in and all of the details due to the different colors. just stunning!
