tablecloth progress

My cloth has moved along over the last two weeks

This is a photo of the centre as it was two weeks ago.




Here is the picture of my progress.



I am really loving working on it and would spend everyday stitching on it if I could.

The mammoth tablecloth project

 This is the pattern for a cross stitch table cloth started more than 20 years ago.

The pattern is from an old Anna Burda magazine.
I was unable then to buy the width of linen that I need so I have modified the pattern.
The centre honeycomb pattern will now be narrower but the entire cloth will be longer so that it can be used an the extended table.


This was were I was at when I pulled it from the cupboard two weeks ago.

The centre honeycomb has hearts around the edge and will all filled in different colours. 





There is a border with little birds.
