A milestone

I have finished all the cross stitching in the border for Wedding Prayer. My next task is to backstitch it all. Then I'll start on the centre. I'm going to use DMC 3371 for the backstitching as the kit has black and I think that will be too harsh given that I've shrunk the design and am only stitching with one thread.

Anyway - here's a pic of my progress so far.

Can't believe you completed that border after seeing the chart for it. Looks great.

Looks great. Puts me in mind of Teresa Wenztler's gorgeous (but brutal) borders.

Wow! That's a lot of progress! The border looks fabulous even without the backstitching.
