V is for Visiting the Neighbours
I borrowed the patterns (x3) from my friend. She had them in Cross Stitch & Country Crafts magazines, but you also get them in a Better Homes and Gardens 101 Best Loved Design from Cross Stitch and Country Crafts. I stitched all three parts as one full scene called Amid Amish Life.

That is fabulous. How long did it take you to stitch it up?

Thank you for the lovely comment. It took me longer than I wanted it to ... 5 years in total, but that is because I am a one-at-a-time stitcher I thought of each part as a separate project. I stitched one part and then stopped in between to do several others until it was finished 5 years later.
DeleteBeautiful! I stitched this years ago when it first came out, in the 80's I think. It was one of my favorite things to stitch, and it still hangs over the fireplace in my country kitchen!
ReplyDeleteThank for the lovely comment. I would love to see a picture of yours sometime. I stitched mine on 28ct pink evenweave.
DeleteWow! That's a gorgeous picture all stitched together. Beautiful!
