Yes, this is my nemesis. I am almost finished with part 4, I still have to finish the left hand side, do some backstitching and put in the beads. Martina came out with part 5 today, 2 days early! This, to me, is not good news. Pressure, pressure, pressure! I would actually have finished this part over a week ago if I hadn't had to frog almost as much as I've stitched. One night I frogged much of the right hand side, restitched it and realized I had made ANOTHER mistake and had to frog that whole area again, 3 hours after I began I was exactly where I had started :(. Part 4 was huge and part 5 looks huge also. I've decided I have to get myself into a more organized rotation with my stitching or this piece is going to overtake my life. Even though I am not enjoying stitching this, it is absolutely stunning IRL.Thanks to everyone for your comments, they always bring a smile to my face.

Don't give up. It is GORGEOUS. When you frame it you can give it a smug little smile every time you pass by it.
I know you're not enjoying it but it is so beautiful! Well done for your perseverance :) I don't think i would've had the patience you have had with it!
I think it pretty darn STUNNING in real photo....I can't imagine how glorious it is in real life! Don't let it take your life over...but seriously although stitching her small freebie Mandala's make me cross-eyed, if you stick with it the finished product is just too much for words! SPN will be breath-taking!
It's just beautiful! You will love this piece when it's framed and on your wall!
It is stunning! Sorry about the frogs. Hopefully they have gone for good:)
Have a good weekend!
Your St Pete is looking fantastic! Sorry it seems to be such hard work - I'm not even a third of the way through part 4 yet, so I'm not even trying to keep up any more!
I am sorry to hear you're not enjoying this. It does look stunning though and is going to be look so beautiful when it's done.
this is looking superb, well done on perseverig with it even after the visit from the frog
It is a very stunning piece and not one for the faint hearted I imagine. Well done on your progress. xx
It looks awesome. The fabby is stunning.
Frogging really does put you off stitching something, well it puts me off when I have to frog a heap.
It's absolutely stunning! I'm sorry you are so frustrated.....in the end it will be all worth it!!! Thanks for stopping by my blog :)

This is so pretty! It looks really sparkly :) ...don't give up you are doing great!!
I agree with some other comments, don't give up. It is lovely and each stitch brings you that little bit closer to a finish.

It's amazing! I hope you're able to find a more workable rotation.
This is so pretty, but with all the detail and its larger size I would think that it could be a bit overwhelming at times. Hopefully you can get a rotation going that works so you can make progress on this but still have time to stitch on something else that is a little more fun.

It's absolutely gorgeous but I sure don't envy you stitching it. I'm sure taking a break from it will just re-energize you :o)
You are much more patient than I...the piece is beautiful!
Thanks for dropping by my blog. Please visit again soon!
I'm sorry it's not any fun, but it surely is absolutely stunning.
