One of these projects, The Mighty Samurai, started in 1999 never did get finished.
I decided to take another look at it and realised the reason it never was completed was all the outlining and back stitching, both of which I hate doing.
Rather than let it live forever in the drawer I completed the fan, hands and feet and called it a day...
Mounted it on board attached a Command hook and it now hangs on my ‘Computer Wall’.
I love it, even without all the outlining.
12 x 18 inches, pattern part of the Gold collection by Dimensions bought in France for 2838 French Francs.
Wonder what else is lurking waiting to be finished in my Embroidery drawer...

Thats lovely, lots of work in it, the outlining takes a long time. Some years ago I did one with a lady wearing red so many different shades then the gold beads & gold thread, all fine until our cat knocked the beads over, he use to try to help me. Had a break from x stitch then last summer did a kit I had of the "Greek Steps" looks nice on the wall. At the moment just a small one like an old fashioned Sampler. Its icy cold here today parked on the sea front had a short walk along the greensward so cold came home. Have a good weekend
