Pages 1-3 are complete. Page 6 has some significant progress, and I've started stitching page 4 to start working on the fairy, not just the flowers. Fairly happy with my progress so far considering I'm just working on it for a little bit at night after 9 pm.
I've come to the conclusion that I'm not so sure on the dimensions of the fabric. The squares should be square. They're not. They're rectangles. Taller than they are wide. So the design is "stretched" taller than it should be. Hopefully this doesn't significantly affect the look of the finished piece.
Not sure if it's the fabric, or the frame I have the piece on. Likely a bit of both I'm thinking. The weave of the fabric is a little loose and it's quite soft compared to Lugana. Then to keep the fabric taut to stitch it is stretched more "up and down" vs "side to side" due to the rolling frame.
I did notice this when I was gridding the fabric, but I turned a blind eye to it. Fingers crossed that that wasn't an epic mistake. If it was, well that's what nieces are for right? (not quite a non sequitur - I'll gift the finished piece to one of my nieces!)
