The frame for my Japanese Embroidery is 16 inches wide and working on motifs in the center or slightly beyond is do-able but slightly uncomfortable. The more I see this, the more I yearn to cross the pond and stitch along with you. I'm sure I would learn so much and I would love to be able to say 'see that ???', I stitched that.

I think it's been mentioned in the blog that there are 4 different styles of pansies and this is the only place where #4 shows up. Anyway, even after two days I haven't finished it, though I admit I didn't work 8 straight hours either day. This might give people a sense of how fussy and long it is to complete some pieces. I'm not sure of my schedule next weekend but maybe I can come and finally finish it next Saturday.
