Mini's Indian peacock April 2020 update

Hello Stitchers,

Remember me? Indian lady who started a project named Indian peacock as part of new year new start in 2017.
I know I have not posted here since a long time, 2 years to be exact.
Well the reason is -I have hardly stitched on this project-3 days in 2019 and 17 days in 2018. I would certainly like to improve that and may be finish this project this year.
Without further ado, I show you my progress on the project. Here is at end of April 2020.I stitched on this for 10 days and added 1261 stitches in it.

Here it is when I picked it up. I'm trying to stitch color wise , trying to finish all stitches of colors I have started . One of the reasons I was neglecting this project was that I was finding it difficult to stitch it in Q-snap. Now , I'm trying to stitch it in hand, which explains the wrinkles in the top pic.

For the month of May, I'm doing a personal challenge called "Stitch Every 'Day' in 'May'". See the details on my blog here and join me if you like.

Happy stitching.

Mini's January update

Hello Friends,

Its time for a monthly update. I'm very happy with my progress on this project , I think I have completed 15% of the total stitches. I worked on the top left corner of the pattern.

I have fallen in love with this project and its hard to put it down. However it's time to pick my second WIP for Focus Finish February as part of  Theme-tas-stitch 2017 SAL. Don't know what I'm talking about , head over to Kerry's blog for details .

When I started this project , I had few apprehensions after reading about stitcher's trouble with kits- how the floss is bad, how they ran out of floss, the aida is of poor quality.

So far I don't have any complaints with this Dimensions kit, being a newbie stitcher with limited stash it helps when the fabric and floss is provided  . I may be weird but I like working on stiff aida as it helps to keep my stitches neat.I'm also enjoying working with first time with blended threads and variety of half stitches and how fast the half crosses stitch.

Will see you in March when I will pick this piece again for stitching.

Have a great February.
