Sprite Stitch Board!

I recently bought a pattern online from a lady in the UK who owns a business called CrossStitchCards (https://www.facebook.com/CrossStitchCards). She does cards and some really beautiful patterns and her newest that I bought is no exception. As the title of the post says, it will be my biggest piece yet, but so worth it.

It is a beautiful cross inspired by a church window she saw while she and her husband lived in California. I am not only working on my first large piece, but doing it on 28 ct. evenweave which is also a first for me. I think I have the hang of it and will be sharing my first pics in a bit.

Here is the cover sheet of the pattern:
Here is a pic of all the different threads:
The progress so far:
This is the "bottom" of the middle section of the pattern. Since this piece is so big, I did not do my norm which is to count out half of the pattern to the top and start there. I found my center point and started there on this one.

Good luck!!! It will be beautiful when it's finished!

Thank you Firehawke! I got a lot more of it finished yesterday after I took this picture. Will have to go get a pic while it's still really nice and sunny out. The fractional stitches are kind of killer because I have to get so close to see and make sure I am doing it right but it's all working out so far.

Here's the pic I just took of my progress from yesterday:

Here's the newest progress pic. I finished all the "lead" in the middle portion of the pattern and am starting on the other colors now except the dark gold yellow which was the first thing I did so I could find the proper middle.

Wow you are racing through that. Its looking great

Oh, it looks so nice! How big is it going to end up being?

Thank you both! The size is 104 stitches wide by 219 stitches tall. I am using 28 ct. evenweave stitching over 2 squares for full stitches and one for fractional stitches. I am working on the stitching pretty much all day except to make meals and do a bit of stuff here and there.

Great progress!!! Keep up the great work!

You are quick! Good work!

Thank you both.
