Oh boy, am I whizzing through this design or what? I was very naughty on Sunday, putting housework on the back-burner in order to stitch. Coupled with the late nights, this 10 hour stint went very quickly! And I don't feel too guilty as it doesn't happen very often!
So, here are the progress pictures:
After 60 hours
After 70 hours
The fact that most of this design is in blocks makes progress very obvious. I love it!
Some of you have commented on my sleep-limiting pattern so, to update you, I have to say that I am feeling full of energy, very refreshed and raring to go. If I compare this to the last five years, when daytime sleeps and early nights were often a necessity, I realize what a totally different person I am! How bizarre does that seem!!!
Right, back to housework..... I've got a bit of catching up to do!
All the best and
Happy stitching :)

It's looking good!
I have decided to take a page from you and limit my sleep, too. I remember that I used to sleep 6-7 hours a night and would be great throughout the day. I'm now getting about 8.5-9ish, and I always seem to be more tired. After reading about your sleep limiting, I am going to give that a try and cut back to 7 hours for a while to see if that helps.
Plus, it doesn't hurt to have more stitchy time!
Just had a little look at the finished design and it is absolutely FANTASTIC!!! Huge progress :)
Looks great! I love those colors
Wonderful progress Rachel. I really like this design and the lovely colors.

Welcome to my blog Sasha! Good luck with trying the sleep limiting. You're right - anything that allows more stitching time is always good! :)
Oh, thank you Mii. You sound so enthusiastic about this design! I'm glad I brought it out of retirement! :)
Thanks Heather. These colours are so gorgeous to work with. I guess being an autumn baby influences my love of autumn colours! :)
Thank you Linda. It's gorgeous to stitch, and with no confetti makes the stitching even more pleasurable! :)
Beautiful stitching! This design is really growing :)
I've often admired this design in the stitching catalogues; it's looking great!
