Mellerstain Parrots #6

Another three weeks has passed since I showed my progress on this piece. It has been a very busy 3 weeks and I've barely had time to pick up my needle. As you'll see.  So this is where I was:



And this is what I've stitched:



Yep, that dark bit on his head.  

Yep, that's all.



So here's our overview now!

You managed to pick up the needle and got something done, so that's good....slow progress is better than no progress :)

All progress is progress Wendy! I do love the parrots. You've stitched it so neatly and well.

Any progress is better than no progress! Your filling stitches are so neat, not sure what the correct name is - long and short?

Half the battle is actually picking up the needle to do something with it. A lot of times I look at the frame and think "No, I don't have enough time to do anything meaningful" but actually if I only did 10 stitches each time i thought that, I'd be a lot further on! You're doing fine, and the parrot is looking great!

At least you were able to fit in a few stitches Wendy and they look gorgeous! Christine x

you might have only done a little on this piece but every stitch done is one less to do and when completed you are going to have a wonderful crewel work picture
