Here is the top half of my Summer Cross as of 4-6-16. This was right before I started all of the outlining that has to be done on this project.

I had taken another picture after this, but I want you to see the dramatic effect that some simple lines will have on a piece…

Isn’t that neat?!

Jay looks at it and doesn’t understand how I can enjoy working with all of those little ‘x’s and outlining it all. Yet, I don’t know how he can enjoy working on the sheeting of an airplane. There’s nothing therapeutic about that!

The majority of what’s left to stitch is a LOT of words. The actual cross shouldn’t take me too long to finish. I’ve been working on this for a year, though, so who knows how much longer I’ll be working on it.
