I'm DANCIN'!!!!!!!

Medieval Town Mandala is FINISHED!!! I put on the last bead at 10:57 pm last night (12/22/10). I think I've been working on this for about four years. Guestimate I spent 350-400 hours stitching this one. Those towns are some pretty dense stitching. Fabric is 32ct belfast linen in Oyster by Country Stitch. As usual, I converted the NPI's to Eterna minitwist silk for all of the solid shades. Otherwise stitched as designed.

MTM finished 122210 full view
MTM finished 122210 corner
MTM finished 122210 middle
MTM finished 122210 town

I am so unbelievably HAPPY!!!! Now on to NSTR!

    Oh my gosh! That is gorgeous! I have a couple of her patterns, but so far have been too intimidated to start any. Would you mind dropping me a line - I have a couple of questions. Thanks. Michele m01ms at msn dot com.
