I had been wanting to stitch this forever. It took about 5 times longer to do than I had expected, however I really like the results. Thank you to Sue, I will make some adjustments in color for the next one. I am going to add a calander beneath it, and hope to do a year, after it is used I hope to add things about that month and make a quilt.

Apr 26, 2013 -- Very pretty! It does seem that the multiple colored cross stitch designs (with many thread changes) do take longer - but it sure is pretty!

Very Nice..but lots of color changes and some jumps are just the nature of machine embroidered cross stitch...but, the results are very worth the effort...

I am going to enlarge the design so at least I can get more of the small jumps. It is also hard to discern which are the jumps.

Such nice words. This one was a struggle with the tiny jumps. I am going to do a simpler one today!

So this is what was causing all the problems! It has turned out very nicely despite the jumps.
