Spring is just around the corner

When writing my title for this entry I couldn't decide between "spring is just around the corner"  or "127 hours later... it is done"
I mention the time it took to stitch this piece because it just seems like such a large number to me. I consider myself a relatively quick stitcher, so it kinda surprised me when I was finished and looked at my time log.  Also, I think it reiterates to people that doing handmade needlework is not something you can just whip up in a day or 2.
This piece is actually titled The Bluebird Trail by Crossed Wing Collection.  The fabric is hand painted by the same company and is titled "sky" (28 ct linen)
My photo just doesn't capture the true beauty of this fabric with the bright threads against it. Stitched it measures approx 16.5 x 20.5
This is a gift for my sister in law, Lisa

stitched and framed

Doing cross stitch has always felt rewarding to me. I start with a blank piece of fabric and after hours/days/weeks I get to see the stitched picture appear on the once blank fabric. But when I send that piece off to the recipient, I feel like I am still not seeing the full picture. While my part of the project is completed, without the matting and/or framing I feel like it is not 100% finished. So I'm always appreciative when I receive a photo of the stitched project framed. 
​Thank you Camille for sending the photo of America, Land that I Love (framed)
