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...
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.

"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
