Everytime I go to Spain I try to pick up one their Cross-stitch magazines even though in Spanish its still squares of colour and list of numbers and easy to work out. But apparently I have these magazines and I was informed never used them so I decided to remedy this by making this scene that was in one of them.
Its quite a large project but there were quite a bit of large areas of the same colours except for the pesky trees.
I have no idea how many man hours it took especially the occasions I've had to unpick some of it and to be honest I don't what to know.

Hi Debby,
Stunning piece of work.
I do cross stitch, the Lavender and Lace designs. My last project of the 3 girls flying kites took me 2 years.
Looks lovely framed on the wall though.

Hi Debby,
What can i say, except "WOW" !!!
What a great job you have done on this - wish i could report such good progress with my own but have to confess that i've not touched it for a while.
Mind you, i think yours has given me some encouragement to keep going with mine.
Super job!! :-)

This is absolutely gorgeous.I can imagine how long it took to make as I did a x-stitch that took me 4 years obviously more off than on. It does have pride of place in my hallway though so I hope you find somewhere for yours.
Wow, this is stunning, haven't crossed stitched in ages... and you did it in Spanish no less. Moi Bueno!!!
Hugs
Debbie
You've put in loads of 'woman' hours here Debby but what an achievement and a beautiful picture. It is so Spanish and I'll be there in about 6 weeks ... roll on! Hugs x
Замечательная работа! Поздравляю!
Wow, this is gorgeous!
I love this Debby. I enjoy cross stitching too but have so many other things on the go, I can't get to it.
WOW, Like this a lot. It has been ages that I did this. Perhaps time to start again?
Hugs Sinikka
Das ist ja ein Meisterwerk!
Phantastisch!

hugs me xx
Brilliant Debby!! Lots of hard work gone into that but sooo worth it, looks stunning.
Fabulous Debby - I really must pull out my cross stitch and do some, I haven't picked up my butterfly afghan for nearly two years now and was asked at the weekend how it was progressing LOL - the answer was very slowly LOL!!!!!
Well done for finishing a project - it will look fab when framed!!
That is lovely, it must have taken you quite a while to stitch it with the amount of detail. I always think the outlines are the worst to do, but it always amazes me on how the picture comes to life. Hope you are going to have it framed now to show off all your hard work
Wow! That's amazing Debby!! Gorgeous work! Love it!
Hugs....
Melissa
Beautiful.

Hi Debby....absolutely gorgeous. I don't know where you find the time.
Debbie x
Oh this is stunning! Well worth the effort Debby, I totally know where you're coming from, I did a half stitch project which took me 2 years to complete!!! And it's pretty small too! I do love cross stitch, but my patience is limited, it just takes me TOO long ;) Well done you on such a beautiful project! Shelly x
Hi Debby. Wow, this is absolutely gorgeous. You must have great patience to do this as it is very intricate. Donna
WOW! Where on earth did you find the time to make such a gorgeous cross-stitch when you make so many gorgeous card! I wish I had your stamina! It's delightful, Debby! Hugs, Lesley
Hi Debby!
Tell me please, what fabric you sewed? According to the recommendations of the magazine? Is it 11 count?
Thank you, Tanya
I have noticed that of all forms of insurance, medical insurance is the most dubious because of the discord between the insurance policy company's need to remain afloat and the consumer's need to have insurance policy. Insurance companies' income on well being plans are incredibly low, hence some organizations struggle to make money. Thanks for the tips you talk about through this website.
