Description The stitched version of Moonlight Visit. Original sketch in my gallery.

A fair princess makes a new friend in the moonlight.

EDIT:

I was so surprised to see this this morning! Thank you so much for submitting this for a DD, and thank you Kitten of Woe for featuring it!

I've never had so many comments in all my time on DA (combined! LOL!) so it will take me a while to thank everyone who comments and fav's - but I will try to get to everyone! Thanks again! I'm glad that so many people appreciate needlework, and the skill and effort that goes into creating a piece from scratch!

Well, a project of this size would usually take me several months to complete. It can be done faster, but I don't have a LOT of time to spend on them.

it's actually very relaxing, time spent keeping your hands busy while you are watching tv. You should try it - you might like it. I'd suggest starting with something easier your first time though

Wow, you STITCHED that? How long did it take you? I stitched a small shoulder badge once, and it took me two weeks. I applaud your dedication and endurance.

Handie In reply to clairvoyantteddybear [2009-01-09 02:00:27 +0000 UTC]

Parts of this were stitched by me and some by a model stitcher. I can't stitch everything myself or most of it would never make it to publication!

it would take me several months to do a project like this - but I don't have a ton of time to work on them.

You should keep at your stitching. It's a great hobby!

I do enjoy doing some needlework from time to time, but I haven't done any for a while.

I wouldn't know where to find the pattern, and buying all the colors, plus the canvas, and then the original pattern, can get pretty expensive. I'm trying to put myself through university, so I can't afford it right now.

yes, acquiring all your supplies can add up - but it's one of those hobbies where once you have a good supply of threads, etc, it really goes a long way.

Maybe once you are out of School you will have more time and money to get into it.

This is amazing! A well deserved DD. About how long did it take to do such a detailed cross-stitch?

Handie In reply to Muggle-Angel [2009-01-13 05:06:02 +0000 UTC]

A piece of this size would probably take me close to a year or so.

Thanks so much!
