Hogwarts In A Bottle - 180 hours

Hi there!

Here's the next part of Hogwarts:

Last time:


And now:



I've just about finished the train so only have the clouds of steam and lots of backstitcing left to do. These, as most of you have suggested, will take about 3 more 10-hour sessions, so the end is definitely in sight now.

Next time I'll be starting with some backstitching; I may be desperate to get the whole piece stitched up but there is also no way I want to leave the amount of backstitching left to last!

Take care,
Rachel x

Great work on the train, it's a real splash of colour! Definitely a good idea to stitch the backstitch as you go!

Looks great; you'll be finished in no time!

Wow. Looking great! I always backstitch as I go. I hate leaving it all till the end.

I can't wait to see it finished! Yes, so very close!
I always used to wait until the end to backstitch everything, but not anymore.

This looks amazing!! And yes, there is so much backstitch! At least I think it's all in black?
