Tania,
I read your post on the SCA site and had to go see the pictures. You did a great job. How long did it take to complete the project?

I like to to embroidery but have been so lazy the past few years. I agree on the cross-stitch (boring) and also hard for me to keep track of where I am on the fabric (I tend to be easily distracted).

Keep up the good work.

Hiya Joyce.

Sorry to have been so long in answering this.

I have bad habits. That is I get all fired up on a project, do it exhaustively for a couple of weeks. I loose interest and then return to the project a couple of months later for another couple of fired up weeks. All in all, this project took a year and a half.
