Första halvan av broderiet är snart klart, för de senaste tre veckorna har jag sytt en hel del! Så här såg det ut för tre veckor sedan:
First half of my embroidery is almost done. I´ve been stitching a lot these last three weeks! This is how it looked three weeks ago:
Nu har jag börjat sy efterstygnen på muren. Bilden blir helt plötsligt en annan, mer levande. Därför är det riktigt roligt att få sy efterstygnen!
Now I have started stitching the back stitches on the wall. Suddenly you get a more alive version of the embroidery! That´s why it is so great to do the backstitching!
Jag är med i en broderigrupp med medlemmar från hela världen. På Avis blogg kan du läsa mer om denna grupp. Här är länkar till de andra medlemmarna:

It’s looking great! I too didn’t see the cats in the mantel until this time. Those little stitches really do bring it to life!
GillaGilla

I dislike doing backstitch but I know it makes so much difference. I like to do mine as I go along too so I don’t have a lot to do all at the end.
GillaGilla
It just get the whole embroidery more alive!

You got a lot done! Yes backstitching is time consuming and I always want to skip it but it is worth the effort.
