Back in March of 2011, I mentioned a large project that I had dug out to finish for myself. This was something I started X number of years ago, then set aside and somehow never got back to. Well, I am pleased to say that I did actually finish this project, on June 26, 2011. Here's a month-by-month chronology in completing this cross-stitch. Now to find a frame I like (and can afford)!

Beautiful!! A lot of work went into that picture.
Did you see Opal yarn came out with a Van Gough collection?
Thanks, Susan! As you can tell by the monthly progress, I worked on it quite steadily -- at least a strand or two every day -- for five months to finally get it done. I can't wait to find a suitable frame.
I did not know there was a "Van Gogh" collection of yarn. Interesting.
That's beautiful, Heather. My daughter loves that painting. I'm going to tell her about the Van Gogh collection as she is a cross stitcher.
Kaye: Thanks, this is one of my favorite paintings, too. When I saw it at the Musée d'Orsay on high school trip, friends had to literally drag me away from it. It's small, but mesmerizing.
Wow. That's gorgeous, Trix. Very impressive. :)
It came out great. That was one heck of a project.
OMG! Heather, that is awesome! Beautiful, and you finished it. That's the best. Congratulations.
Jana: Thank you! :)
Alice: Yes, it was--especially the sky, with all those swirling colors.
Bethanne: Thank you. I did feel pretty good setting that final stitch. *g*
That is incredibly lovely.
I'd probably have gotten turned around and gone totally random on it.
That is awesome. I love that painting! I think this is pretty neat!
Thanks, Caitlyn!
