Here's my progress :
~April 9, 2018
All of 94 is done.... now on to some color. I'm using a mystery piece of linen from my stash for this and am loving the way the colors look against it. I did take out the personalization box and put in for a second row of the flowers as I like that better and if fits perfectly. This is a terrible photo.... the 94 really does show up well on this fabric but the lighting and angle were bad.

Progress update.... some color added. I've got all of 94 done, all of 99, and I substituted 48 for 62 so that color is all in unless I decide to use it for the second row of flowers. Not entirely sure which color I'll use for that just yet. The skein is the original 62 called for and on the bobbin is the 48 I used instead.

Another color in.... 69 all finished
~April 15, 2018
Another color in. This time substituting for the called for 61 I'm using 111. I wanted the birds wings to be more of a warm color and to be deeper so I opted for 111 to give it that golden look I wanted against the blue that will follow.

Another color in last night. My substitution for light 91 is light 67. I considered doing the dark end of 67 but really like that very pale blue that is almost a white so went with it and am very pleased with how it turned out. The original color is the skein and the substitution is the bobbin. Next up I'm working on the color picked for one of the purples.

Color 102 light .... substituted 52 dark for this one. In the original we were to use light 102 and here I've used the dark of 52 for it's replacement. I'm using the light of 52 to replace the original 126 dark which is the color I'm working on today. Hopefully tomorrow I can finish that up and show you how that looks in comparison. The original called for dmc is in the skein and the substitution is on the bobbin.

Another one in ......light of 52 to replace the original 126 dark. Original called for dmc is on the skein and the substitution is on the bobbin. I did find three spots I had missed a color so I took care of those. Should have everything in that I've used the color of now. I'm loving how this is coming out.
Now for the next color, 95, I'm going to use 5 different colors that I pulled that are the same or similar to what colors it has in it. I didn't find a substitution that I really liked so I'll make my own. I plan on cutting shorter lengths, working the colors just as if it was the variegated using light and dark and see how that works as a transition and variation.

Color 95 substitution is in. Here's what I did.... I pulled 210....554...208...553.....552 and used those to make my own variegated version. I used 20" cuts and did the loop method to start so I was working with 10" lengths. I put the light in this order 210 then 554 then 208 as my medium color. Then for the dark end I used 552 as the darkest, then 553 then 208 as my medium color. Worked great and definitely looks like a violet. As before the original color is in the skein and the others are on the bobbins. Down to two more colors left and the backstitching.

Substitution for color 103 is in. Used 121 for this. Now I'm down to one last color and the backstitching. Loving it! The original dmc color is in the skien and the substitution is on the bobbin.
~April 24, 2018
Last of the colors is in. Here I substituted 90 for 108. As always the original is the skein and the substitution is on the bobbin. Now on to the back stitching.... so the next time you see this it should be finished.
~April 27, 2018
All finished. Got the last of the backstitching in using the called for dmc 580. Love it, so glad I was able to participate and get this done.
