I started stitching one of the side panels of the casket tonight. The picture quality is poor but I thought I'd share it anyway. I'm already enjoying this piece. I'd forgotten how much I love the feeling of silk thread. It took my eyes a little while to adjust to the fine stitch count (36 over 2), but with some added light in my stitching area and some time, they became used to it. This is the first time I can recall that I had any kind of trouble seeing the holes in the linen; my eyes must be getting weaker. Time to invest in one of the those magnifying devices that you clip on your frame? We'll see....
