I think it was only the second time I've sat down to stitch this year so have a bit of catching up to do! Pattern is A Crazy Wonderful Owl Family by HAED.

This is gorgeous! Your stitches are so consistent.

Thank you! I used to railroad my stitches religiously but it was so slow that I stopped - and it stills looks okay. You have a lot of wiggle room with full coverage too, which helps.

I don’t know if full coverage would help me, lol, it might just emphasize my occasional, unfixable flubs. But whatever you’re doing is working!

Unfixable flubs = adding the personal touch. You don't really want to spend all those hours creating something absolutely identical to someone else's work, right?

Good point!
