As predicted, I reached another ten hour mark on Queen of the Pirates before reaching my stitch goal. In fact, I still got about 600 stitches left to go, but I'll get there soon!
I've been working on her hat, adding most of the hat itself, but also the gold trim along the upper edge (doing a bunch of quarter and three-quarter stitches with two strands of blended DMC light effects is *quite* the adventure, let me tell you!) and the feathers (all DMC satin, but not too bad to work with).
Sadly, the lighting on this picture isn't great, so you can't see how shiny these feathers are - with the short days in winter, I can only really take pictures in daylight on weekend mornings, and I didn't want to wait that long to stitch on her again! So hopefully, we'll get a better pictures next time she comes around.
By the way, while her head and hat feel pretty big already, this ist just about 11% of the deign as a whole...lots left to go, but it's a fun stitch!
