Hornbook Bestiary Progresss

I'm pleased to report I've finally moved onto the final row of boxes as of last night!  It's so exciting to finally have the end in sight.  Here's a look at where I was when we last visited.
 
Progress as of 4/27/14
 
Progress as of 5/4/14
"U is for Unicorn"
 
I had intentions of posting progress after this block but life got in the way.  I did encounter a bit of a problem on the "V is for Vulture" block.  If you plan to stitch this, you might want to take note.
 
Just for reference, notice the vulture in the chart picture.  I know you are supposed to go by the chart and not the picture but...
 
Here's what it looked like when I followed the chart.  Hmm...not exactly what I had in mind.

Upon closer inspection of the color key, it appears that the color number for the blue/grey above is 3843 and the symbol is one vertical line.  The color number for the medium brown I used is 3834 and the symbol is two vertical lines.  I can totally see how this might happen.  So "heads up" if this is in your stash.  You might like the blue/gray but I wasn't a fan and wanted it to look like the picture.

Progress as of 5/18/14
"V is for Vulture" and the final row's boxes!

Here it is as of last night before bed.  I made it my mission yesterday to get the last row's boxes in before the day was done!  Now to fill them in.  I plan to spend as much time as possible on this till it's finished.

Just for fun, here's the whole thing.  I can hardly believe I put in all that tent stitch over one.  I feel like a tent stitch master now!  I've got a lead on a hornbook frame too.  We'll see if it works out!

Thanks for letting me share today and for cheering me on.  I'm so very close to the finish now.  I can hardly wait to share it with you when the day comes!

Until next time,

The Inspired Stitcher
