One Nation

I continue to work on One Nation, but not daily.  The key for me is to start working on it before 8 p.m.  If I try to start later than that, my eyes are too tired to focus.  Here's a picture of where I started:



And where I am now:



I'm hoping to finish these two rows by next check in.

To see what the rest of the group is stitching:

I'm not surprised you can't see to stitch after 8pm. It's such fine needlework. Looks lovely!

Looks beautiful, I think your eyes must be very good for these delicate stitches, but worth all your efforts. Stay safe

Hi,
Beautiful piece, I have trouble seeing where to stitch on dark fabrics...Have a great day!

I have to admit that after a certain time my eyes go too! You work looks very fine!

I can't stitch in the evenings either. I really like this piece; I'm glad you've chosen to work on it for this SAL.

I'm not sure if my comment was eaten or just held for moderation. I wanted to say I can't sew in the evenings either, for the same reason. I'm glad you're working on this piece too, I really like it.

That white would just kill me! You are getting so close to having the stripes done, we are cheering you on!

This stitching is so fine -- really lovely! And you're working on my state right now (Washington!).

Beautiful work but yes, hard on the eyes for sure. I only do cross stitch in the afternoons, never at night because my eyes definitely can't focus like they should then.

Great progress! I also have trouble to stitch in the evenings!
