long stitches

I've been sewing, sewing.  

The collecting for this project has been going on for weeks now.

It is in the last two days that the serious sewing's been going down.

The progression is going well.  

Here are  a few hints of what this baby looks like:

-1-

It's approximately three and a half yards long.

-2-

  

-3-

-4-

Two weeks from tomorrow the happy couple this is being made for will be wed.
