Another section done.
This will be a fun landscape to stitch.
Did a little press, the creases were difficult to remove and the bottom one won't release.
For those interested in flower thread, Ginnie Thompson's website makes ordering easy with very reasonable shipping. A sample is also offered to try.
Enjoy your day.

You've made a lot of progress on this pretty piece. I like the deer. Thanks for the thread recommendation.
Pretty amazing to me how people stitch on crumpled up fabric.
I'm sure that when all is said and done, you won't even notice that crease if it is even still there. That's going to be some pretty intense stitching. ~Robin~
Did you try the wetting fabric/freezing thing for the creases, Marly? As copied from "Cross Stitch Art" site: "You can use heat or cold to get out the wrinkles in your fabric. To use your freezer, you can simply wet the fabric along the folds then slip it into a paper bag so it can lie flat. Lay the piece as flat as possible in the freezer until it is frozen solid. Removed it from the freezer and immediately iron it until it is thawed and dry. Then let it rest overnight on the ironing board before moving it. Also, you can wet the folds in the fabric and place it in the microwave for 30 seconds. Then iron it. Let the piece cool before you move it."
I've used this method a couple of time with some success--not perfect, but :)
Your piece is looking great! Enjoy this coming warm, sunny weather--thank goodness! I really couldn't take much more of the gloomy past 7 days!
Marly, the border is just beautiful. Is this stitched with DMC? The colors are so vibrant and pretty. Enjoy every stitch! Cherie in WI
