1st finish of 2009
I started this project on January 1st and was instantly captivated and couldn't put it down. I spent my whole stitching time this week working on it and finished it about 1AM this morning. I so enjoyed doing the speciality stitches (rice stitch, satin, and smyrna) that I can see myself doing more projects like this one. It's stitched on 28 ct. lugana in bone using the Anchor floss called for in the chart.
