Twilight Duel: SAL Update 9

 

I am thrilled to have surpassed the halfway point on the Heaven and Earth Designs Twilight Duel cross-stitch project I am stitching for my son.

73,878 of 147,600 stitches are complete! The photo above shows how it looks now. And the photo below is how it looked on our last update.


Our next SAL (stitch along) update will be September 13th. The bloggers in this SAL all select their own project to work on and we share updates every 3 weeks. 

I do hope you will hop over to see what everyone else has been working on! We are in different time zones, so if a post is not up yet, please check back later.

Happy Stitching!
Renee

I want to say you're on the home straight but there's still a long way to go. What a remarkable achievement so far!

Halfway mark is a big achievement for a project this size ! you're doing great!

Carole said...

It looks amazing. My mind is slightly boggled at the amount of stitches though. My project seems to be going on forever and it's only about 35,000 stitches LOL

Woohoo halfway. Even on a regular cross stitch at times that is a huge accomplishment, but on a HAED it is WOW!

Halfway is significant on one of these full coverage designs! It's looking beautiful too, those color changes in the background are dramatic.

It looks like more than half, at least on the dragons. This is my favorite of all your pieces. If I had any ability or patience with XS, I'd do this one myself. But I don't! LOL I settle for watching your progress, and thinking about your lucky son.
