I love that it is on linen. Beatiful job I can see why it has a blue ribbon! Contrats! At our fair several years ago, there was a cross stitch Monopoly board on adia cloth that took 1st place over some beautiful work on linen, I was so shocked and could not believe they did not have REAL judges of handwork judging at the fair!

This is absolutely beautiful; the fall colours make the picture pop. I can see why it took so long to do, there's a lot to do on it. Oh my, I bet your as pleased as punch & should be very proud of your achievement.

thank u Yoriko. I have arthritis in my hands so sometimes it's difficult. I don't do near as much cross stitch as I use to. Now it's machine embroidery most of the time, but I still like doing things with my hands. *

This is beautiful. I used to do a lot of cross stitch. I must get out one of my kits and start on it. It is very relaxing to me to cross stitch. Congrats on the blue ribbon. Mildred

This wasn't a kit Mildred. I bought the design at the Biltmore gift shop, then bought threads elsewhere if I did not already have them. *4U

Lillian, this is a work of art and I am happy to see it in cross stitch - I would love this in machine embroidery whether cross stitch or regular - I love this place and will miss going to it. No wonder you got a blue ribbon for it. *4U

Looks great and great framing also. For those of you who don't know this was one of the Vanderbilt's homes at the turn of the 20th century.

That was quite an undertaking. I have not done hand work in so long - don't know if my eyes could stand it. Well done.
