Hello all!
And another too long-neglected WIP bites the dust!
Pandas was started on 28th February 2015, the final project for Debbie's Super Duper Ultimate Crazy January February Challenge. I last worked on it in December 2017, leaving it here with just the lower bodies to fill in, the grass to stitch and, of course, all the backstitching to add:
So now those have been done here it is in its entirety (with a much more accurate fabric colour):
Pandas from the Young'Uns collection by Gloria and Pat
Stitched on 16ct Kelp over-dyed aida
Started - 28th February 2015
Finished - 9th February 2023
Total stitching time - 60 hours 15 minutes
The backstitching, which for once I didn't leave to the end, took a mere eight hours but was nice and easy as it followed the squares of the aida. I often 'cheat' by using long stitch but this chart was definitely designed with the square-by-square outline in mind. It might have taken a long time, but was actually really therapeutic.
As for the next finish... I think it's time for the final Winnie The Pooh to join the other four, don't you? Back soon then.
Take care,
Rachel x
