It's looking fantastic! :dance:
I did this design a few years ago, it has pride of place over the fireplace, sadly most visitors do not realize it is cross stitch, they think it is a print :roll: :roll:
It was my first venture into couching, not as hard as I thought it would be :D

So this piece isn't all cross stitch then? It has this crouching in it as well?
