The good side of spending nearly two weeks as a couch potato is that it means LOTS of stitching time. When The Championships started last Monday, I pulled out PIG and went back to work on it.
Here's what it looked like on Monday...
And here it is on Saturday morning...
It's hard to see the details, but there are plenty of them. The section I've been working on has lots of rice stitches and TONS of backstitching. Those domed rooftops were a pain-- all rice stitch, with gold metallic backstitching overlaid.
I'm hoping to stitch today, but it's not looking good. I had a nasty night of insomnia last night-- awake until 5:30 a.m. and back up and 8:30. The likelihood that I'll be able to focus well enough to stitch on black fabric is slim, at best. :(

Great progress! That is beautiful! Don't you love being a couch potato? aren't stitchers the most productive couch potatos on the planet?! I know I get lots of stitching done while in front of the TV!!!
You've made some wonderful progress here! Such a lovely design and you chose well in stitching it on black fabric, even if it's more challenging.
Your stitching is looking amazing!

That's a stunning piece. And all stitched on black or dark blue fabric. It's ceratinly hard to see the holes on it but the colours look terrific on it. Great progress picture.
