Oh, boy, oh boy, oh boy, am I enjoying this new start or what?! I've been desperately wanting to start this since I first purchased it last June and now my dream has come true!
Here's the first progress picture after 10 hours, both close up and on the whole piece of fabric:
Stitched on 16ct Lazurite hand-dyed aida by Chromatic Alchemy 2 over 1
Started - 7th January 2019
And one last reminder of how the project will eventually look:
There are a lot of blended threads in this project; out of 55 symbols 23 use blended threads. I've stitched some already and must admit they make such a difference when transitioning between two colours. Obviously!
After finishing the 10 hours on this one I had more stitching time left that night, so had a choice of either sitting twiddling my fingers or starting another new project. No-brainer decision really! The new one will, no doubt, be appearing for your inspection soon (and that's a very subtle clue as to which one it is!)
Take care,

I figured you would really enjoy this one. Great start on it! Can't wait to see what the next one is.
I love this one! I have this pattern in my pile of to-do projects. I may get to it sometime soon, hopefully!
I can't wait to see more progress!

That fabric is just gorgeous for this design!
What marvelous fabric - love the color! Wonderful start to a cool design - am going to enjoy watching this one progress.
Yesssss, the Hogwarts bottle! I'm glad you've started this one. The fabric looks lovely for it too~ :D
Love the colour of the fabric, so pretty! Glad the slight shrinkage is giving you better coverage too :)
That's a great start - I love Maria's patterns, I've only stitched a small one so far but I'm sure it won't be the last. Love the fabric as well.
Love this one! Great start and I knew I recognized the fabric from the newer post. :) Love this colour, although almost all CA fabric is amazing.
