I have progress photos to post later, but I wanted to share with you a picture of my work station. This is a pretty big project, and I don't know how some of you are able to stitch this with a hoop! :shock:

Okay, now I'm super jelly of that stand. Also, I may or may not be mentally trying to engineer a stand where one would be able to adjust the width to something as obscenely big as the all gens Pokemon stitch... (Width adjustment because I don't want to have a thing wider than I need it to be if I don't have to XD)

I can change the crossbar (the long bar with the holes, holding up the frame) to whatever length I want. I actually want to order one thats 6 feet wide, but I'm afraid that my husband will bury me without the precious. :help: This project, at 36 inches, is the absolute widest that I can get away with, with this bar. I lucked out!

Freehand?! Respect! I couldn't get my tension right without something holding the fabric!

I am nothing if not consistent. I've been working with 28 count linen and haven't had a problem with the fabric warping :)

Although I admit 18 count Aida is easier to work with!

Decided to take a coloring book approach to this one and stitch all of the black first.
