My Horse Project

Post by fgradowski »

I hope I'm posting this in the right spot? I'm new to the forum. (=

I've already been working on this project for quite a while, but I would like to share it anyways and keep updating the progress. I usually work on it every day.

This was a free cross stitch pattern that I found online.
Here is what it will look like when it is done:

Here is the link if you would like to stitch this pattern:

And here is my progress since about November:

I did have to stop working on it for a while and pick up a different cross stitch. I'm hoping to have this done by the end of March. It is the largest cross stitch I have ever done!

That's what I was telling my boyfriend when I was showing it to him! It's the most exciting thing to watch all those little "x"s turn into something. (= My favorite thing about stitching.
