DMC Floss, 11 count aida cloth

What was your inspiration?

I wanted a project to do during my first pregnancy.

What are you most proud of?

I am most proud that I finally finished this project. I started this project 17 years ago. Over the years I picked it up, worked on it and put it back down. It got lost in some boxes during a move. I set it down again when I went back to work. Now I am not working and decided it was going to get finished. I spent the final two months on it and GOT IT DONE!

What advice would you give someone starting this project?

Don't take 17 years to do this project!!!!!

That is so lovely. It was worth 17 years of working on it now and then.

Thank you! I found peacock pattern by the same company. I might attempt it, but I won't take so long to make it this time!
