044

Sorry for being away for so long but shortly after the year began my stitching bug took a looong vacation...
But now it is back and hit me with all it's stitching addicted force!!

The last days I worked on the first page of "Be Mine Always" by Adele Sessler and just minutes ago I finished it.



It's tent stitched 2 over 1 on 28 ct Linen. I really like 28 ct so it's good that I bought quite a lot of it. I'm not crazy about tent stitching so this will be one of my only fully tented pieces. I like the look of full cross stitch more.

This is how the pictureis going to look like when it's done:

I know that Sessler mostly paints her own characters but I'm always thinking that I'm looking at Romeo and Juliet. The clothing fits into the timeline and I always imagined that the two looked like that.
