I was marathoning away on Japanese Octagon when suddenly I wanted to just chuck it across the room. Q-snaps and all. Taking that as a sign that I was burnt out on it I picked up Ganesha, put him back down (and thereby failed the first Theme-a-licious update) and ending up working on Adriana's backstitch.
Prior to the IHSW:
And after:
So far I've managed to backstitch most of the birds, and am about a third of the way through outlining the green bits. Which isn't really that noticeable.
Adriana B is designed by Aaron Art, and stitched with the Sticklounge group.

Looking very nice...
The backstitch on the birds does make a difference - they look much sharper now. Sometimes you just have to go with stitching what the mood dictates.
well any stitch is a stitch done. I'm looking over my project right now and scratching my head.
That is absolutely gorgeous!
It's looking lovely, Blu. I can't see the difference though. My old eyes, I guess...
Looking good!
The birds are great, do you know how you are going to finish them?
Hugs Yvon.

Your before and after picture show lots of progress. Backstitch can be tedious, but they make such a difference. Lovely design and stitching!
Very nice!
You can see the difference, so definitely a successful IHSW. And sometimes you just have to go with the stitching mood.
