Artist's Comments

This is a cross stitch I made for my Grandma of her three great-grandchildren.

I took a photo of the 3 kids, scanned it, and made a cross stitch chart.
It was stitched on white 14 count Aida cloth. The finished size is 16"w X 20"h
It took me about 18 months of working steady on it to complete.
It supposed to be a Christmas gift for her one year, but I grossly underestimated how long it would take to complete, so she didn't get it til the following Christmas:P She was extremely happy with it:D I was too!

It hangs in Gram's livingroom, and my sister-in-law took the picture of it for me since she went to visit her before I did.

Thank you & thanks so much for the :+fav::glomp:
My Gram was living in a retirement community at the time I made that. When it was finished, a few of her neighbors/friends commissioned me to make ones of photos they deemed precious. So I did:) I made sure they were all 8x10 though:P I didn't want to commit a year & a half to one piece ever again!
I wish I had taken photos of them, but I never thought to do it:(

When you see it in "real" life, it looks like a painting, til you get super close. Then you realize they're wee little x's:P
