After some “sneak peaks” here, here, and here, I am proud to announce that my Celestial Gathering by cross stitch project is finally complete.
Celestial Gathering by Cross Stitch
The sun, moon, planet, stars, and borders were all done in a cross stitch, while the constellations, galaxy, and other background detailing were done in a half cross stitch. Outlining was done in a backstitch, and the little dotted stars were done with French knots.
Not to toot my own horn or anything, but damn, this looks amazing.

From one cross stitcher to another, wonderful job. I love it. You did a wonderful job on it. What are you going to do with it now. Please tell me that you are going to frame & hang that beautiful piece. Don’t just put it away. I love it.

Wow, that does look amazing. How many hours do you think it took you total?
Manda
Honestly, I’m not sure, as I went through periods where I worked on it all day for several days, and then some days where I added a little here and there. Maybe a month, if I worked on it for about six hours every day?
