What part of the background are you referring to? The majority of the piece is done in half stitch, with the exception of the sun, moon, constellations, planets, and stars – those are done in cross stitch. The red and orange border around the piece is done in cross stitch as well.

Hi Manda, The finished piece looks beautiful.
I have the kit myself although i have not started it as i accidentaly bought the chinese version and cannot make out which kind of stitch is which. am i right in thinking there are two types of half stitch for the background? I would really appreciate it if you could help me work out what to do.
I can only hope my attempt will be just as good as yours! Very well done and i hope any future kits come out just as well.
Kind regards
Emma

I wish I was that creative! It’s gorgeous! The moon is my favorite. I love how the crescent moon comes full circle. :)

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?

I have yet to go frame shopping, but yes, the plan is to frame and hang the piece!

Wow, that does look amazing. How many hours do you think it took you total?
