I didn’t realize that it took me so long to do the lettering on this piece. I thought that I was making pretty good time on this piece. Apparently not as this is what it looked like twenty-two days ago. I had just finished the stitches for this portion of the cross.

And now this is how it looks after I got all of the words stitched in around the cross. At least, this portion of the cross. I’m going to stitch a few more letters in the word ‘Friendship’ at the very top, but then I will start the outlining. I can’t wait! That’s when this will REALLY start to pop!
