I just finished five additional hours on “Passing Admirers” and can really see some progress today!
I decided to give the women in the picture names so that you know who I am talking about and working on. From now on, the woman on the right in the white dress will be known as “Polly” and the woman on the left in the violet dress “Maggie.” (Maggie’s dress looks brown in the display photo, but the floss colors are actually “Antique Violet.”) You may ask why I chose the names and I can only say I thought of them on the fly, but I think they sound like nice Victorian names.
Anyway, I have finally finished the bustle on Polly’s skirt and will try and do 5-10 more hours on her dress before I finish this rotation. The dress should go pretty quickly, because there aren’t nearly as many shades in the dress itself as there were in the bustle.
You can see the latest progress pictures in my cross-stitch gallery!

Great progress! What a lot of work.
It’s a good idea to give them names, and those you chose certainly sound victorian to me too! (with Maggie I couldn’t help thinking of the Mill on the Floss…
)
