I’ve managed to do about 15 hours work on The Dratteds since I last took a progress piccie, and I’m starting to see the final deadline a lot closer now … I chopped off all of my highlighted parts of my working copy, and I’m surprised how little is now left. I think I’ll meet my self-imposed deadline and see this finished within the next two months 🙂 Here’s the progress to date, with a before and after piccie from when I last took a photo:

When Sharon saw this piece in real life, she was surprised how big it was – it’s 234 stitches wide x 150 stitches high … I have to admit, though, it looks pretty gorgeous stitched up, even though it’s a nightmare to stitch with all those greys. I’ll be quite sad to eventually see these Dratteds leave home.
This week it isn’t a great stitching roster, so not much will be done until possibly next week, when I need to concentrate on my scissor fob exchange.

You are making great progress on the dratteds, Anne. They look fantastic.
This looks really really great all the way to Canada
You’ve made great progress on this Anne
Hurrah for you, that is a lot of progress! The end is in sight. I didn’t realize it is such a HUGE project. WOW!
That is a big project! the dolphins look real!
You are really getting there. I just looked behind me and saw it hanging and you are doing a great job on it.
Great job on those dolphins! It’s funny how you’ll miss them once they’re gone.
Your dolphins look great!
Anne, it looks beautiful!!
You’ve done a lot! It really doesn’t look as if there’s much left to do 🙂
Wow, Anne, you rock! This looks fabulous!
Huge progress, Anne!! Way to go! 😀
Your decadent stitching day in jammies sounds wonderful!!
Your dolphins look beautiful Anne.
They are gorgeous, and so life-like!
My gosh! They truly are far along now – how lovely! Yep, you could probably finish them by the end of the year.
Great progress Anne, and yep, they DO look huge to me! Have a good week! 🙂
The dolphin piece looks great! Can’t wait to see more progress on it. Keep up the good stitching!
That looks magnificent….lifelike…wow. I can’t wait to see more of its progress.
These are looking amazing! You have really made a lot of progress on them. Beautiful!
Anne, there is absolutely NO WAY I would ever give such a masterpiece away! I did give a piece to my daughter with 217 hours in it, but I was so sick of it, I wanted to get rid of it. This is one of the most breathtaking pieces of work I’ve ever seen, and I can’t wait to see it when it’s done.
I hate to admit it, but it’s in my stash. Why do I hate to admit it? Cuz I’ll never do it, and I know it, LOL!
What a great Progress!!!
cheers
You are really making great progress…the “dratteds” are looking wonderful!
