Tuscan View

I made this for my friend as a going away present when she was moving back home to Georgia.  She had been thoroughly impressed with some of the cross stitching she had seen of mine.  Her entire awareness of the craft was old-school traditional samplers, so she was amazed that you could also stitch beautiful pictures.  I chose this one since it was large and pretty while still being rather quick to stitch (most of the background is done in half stitches), since I only had a short time to finish it.  She loved it and hangs it proudly in her house in Georgia.  :)

Stitched: 2 strands on tan 14 count Aida
Completed: February 2005
