Description
My Masterpiece. (Until I start an even bigger one
)I bought this piece in May 2015 and have been stitching it on and off (depending on my free time), so this took about sevenish months to complete (or if counting hours probably the equivalent of a week). It is the biggest stitch I have ever done to date and has been both a pain and a blast to make because of the size and challenge.
Stitching has always been a pleasure of mine so I'm sad to be done, but I love the final look. Now I just need to find a good frame for it. Onward to my next project!!
Here are some close up shots of the main piece: sta.sh/2212wa1kccrp?edit=1
This is a Dimensions 9x15 cross stitch pattern titled Indian Peacock. It was designed by Suzanne Nicoll.

Thank you very much for your kind words! It took a long time, but was 100% worth it.
Man I wish I could design this well! No, this is a Dimensions pattern that I purchased; they are probably one of my favorites to buy from. The actual designer is in my comment box area if you want to look her up.

This is absolutely beautiful.
How did you get into stitching?

Thanks!
I don't 100% remember. I started knitting when I was younger and switched over to this. Now I do it all the time. It a great way to relax or keep your hands busy if you're bored.

Amazing! Getting it done in seven months is nothing to sneeze at for something that size!

Yeah it took a lot longer than I originally thought but was totally worth it.

Oh no, it would have taken me longer! It took me nine months to do a 8x10 so your time is super!

HOLY FREAKING CRAP THAT IS ABSOLUTELY AMAZING!!!! I've seen some pretty good cross stitch before, but this just knocks it out of the park. Looks amazing!

Thanks Reki!! It was fun doing a harder piece than I normally would. I'm definitely going to do more of these in the future.
(But first my hand needs a break.

After that, I can imagine your hands would be hurting you.

Just like for other hand/wrist intensive tasks, breaks are a wonderful thing.
