HERE BE DRAGONS

Here is my current WIP. It’s called ‘Kindred Spirits’, from Heaven and Earth Designs. I really like dragons and I fell in love with it when I saw it. I never believed I’d be able to handle and finish such a big project, but I wanted to try. The photo shows you the size, it’s 65x85cm (25_x33_in) and 525 by 679 stitches – incredible! I started to stitch the piece in January 2016 and, at the time the photo was taken, I’d stitched 54 pages out of 81 in 603 days. I’m so happy that I didn’t lose patience or motivation. I often work on other cross stitch projects as well so it’ll probably take another year until it’s finished, but I’m looking forward to the rest of the journey. I’ll definitely get it framed, this masterpiece deserves the most beautiful framing possible, and then I’ll hang it on the wall in our living room above the place where I stitch.

Hannah: It’s looking fantastic so far, Johanna. Let alone the size,
