Hogwarts In A Bottle - 20 hours

Hello all!

Yes, some of you guessed correctly, after Parrot on Parade I couldn't resist returning to my most important piece of stitching this year! I had some lovely comments on my previous Hogwarts post, thank you, and they helped ensure I return to this project rather than indulge in another new start.

Here's how I left it after 10 hours:


And now after 20 hours:


And the full piece:



I'm afraid it's only more bottle top and cork, so nothing particularly exciting yet. But progress is progress. I reckon I might just get to the actual castle towards the end of the next 10 hour session and then it'll start getting really interesting - not that it isn't interesting now but it'll be lovely to start stitching the Hogwarts castle itself.

This project has to go away for a couple of weeks now while I squeeze in something before month end and then stitch my 3 beginning-of-the-month projects for February. But it will definitely make an appearance again immediately after those. Promise!

Take care,
Rachel x

Great progress why don't you just keep stitching on this one until your done or bored with it. That's what I'm doing right now stitching miss moss/moth until done, I just can't put her down. Happy stitching!

Progress IS progress, but please don't think it's boring! It is exciting to watch other's progress and see something come into being!

Great progress! I'm sure this will be really hard to put down once you reach the castle itself.

Great progress and a really good idea to get the less interesting part done first!

I love this one! It's already looking fabulous, that cork and the glow of the bottle neck, so cool.
