I think this is a great project and I know you'll love to stitch it because of the memories it will bring. I look forward to lots of pics.

Re: Midge's Great Wall of China
I really love the design you chose and you have made a great start!! What count fabric is this one on? Does it have all full crosses or are there specialty stitches?

Re: Midge's Great Wall of China
Sorry folks, I should have said:- it is on 14 ct fabric, using 2 strands of DMC thread and all full cross stitches.
The castles project is speciality stitches so this is a nice change.

Wow Midge, this looks a challenge. I love the atmosphere of the piece and you've made a great start already.
