I'll finish this on a little box that was given to us at the Midwest Retreat in 2017 expressly to finish this piece. <3

And here is what it looks like now:

I'm stitching mine on 18 count Long Coffee from xJuDesign on Etsy with some of the called for colors.

I'm SOCLOSE to being done!! Just waiting on a bit more Kalamata and the Sampler Roll will be done!

I'm stitching mine with all of the called for DMC on a piece of fabric dyed for me (like a YEAR ago!) by the lovely Andrea Stitches in CO. And here is my progress:

I'm stitching this with my Ball Point Needles from Polka Dot Stitchery on eBay and I'm obsessed with them and I'll never buy anything else ever again. (except when I'm beading) Click on the pictures to go to her Facebook group:
