I bought this "sashiko" kit in Japan a few years ago. ("sashiko" is a decorative reinforcement stitching from Japan.) The stitching & design is simple, so I thought I can make it in no time. Wrong was I!! It's so simple that actually boring me to keep it going. It took me forever to finish it. I have a few more sashiko kits I bought at the same time. (Thinking sashiko would be quick projects!) I need to work on them too...somedays.
There's a cute cross stitch store in old St. Charles. I found this pattern last year around Halloween time. I'd only made one cross stitch at that time, so I thought that pattern and the size was way out of my league. Since then I made a couple of cross stitch, so I decided to try this pattern. The finish size is about 9"x16". My goal is finish it by next Halloween since it's gigantic!
