Gift for a retiring pastor. It is from Embroidery Library. It stitched out like a dream. However, took several hours. If I remember it was about 50,000 stitches. I thought it was beautiful when completed.

1831Beautiful job. I'm sure he will love it. I may check out the design for my son's ex-girlfriend. She's an officer in the Coast Guard and I think it would be perfect gift for her.

Thank you so much. It was one of those projects that when done you stand back and glad you did it.

89895That is really quite nice. With that high of stitch count, what kind of fabric did you use to get it to lay so flat when finished? You did a beautiful job of framing it as well!!

Thanks. It was stitched on felt with a heavy cut away on the back. I didn't use any stablizer on the top. I left the stablizer on the whole thing and then framed.

Thank you so much. It is really worth stitching out! Yes, I believe framing really accents it.
