I did some hand embroidery once, mainly cos I loved the colours.  It was done from a chart in Prima magazine if I remember rightly, possibly in the late 80s or early 90s.  Hard to get a photo as it's high up on the wall and measures 24" x 9".  Took me about a year to do.

Wow! That is a labour of love!  I agree with you about the colours.
As it neared the top of the grade, it went more slowly. However, it still kept saying, "I—think—I—can, I—think—I—can." It reached the top by drawing on bravery and then went on down the grade, congratulating itself by saying, "I thought I could,  I thought I could."

I thought I would add this here, it is one of the last cross stitch I did so would be around 30 years old!  I am only putting it here as I was having a chuckle to myself that 30 years on I am still doing unicorn embroidery  :laughing:

I admire your patience with all those tiny beads.
Do you get naked biros from beading suppliers to make jackets for?
