I think it would have been an easier stitch if I had either stitched it on darker fabric or stitched it on the fabric I used but with 2 strands of floss rather than just 1. The colors look better in real life than they do in the picture, but they still don't really pop. I think I'd like it better a little brighter, but by the time I identified the reason for my dissatisfaction with the piece I'd done too much to want to start it over. So it's out of the WIP basket and it'll go live in the finis pile and maybe I'll do something with it one of these days.Next on my list to get finished is Robert's Stocking. I'm pretty close to having it done and I need to get it finished so I can start another one for me!
Stay warm and happy stitching!

Beautiful finish !
Congratulations on your finish! I think the colors look quite pretty. I hope you like them in the end too.
I feel that way about some of mine--pleased except for some detail. You should be proud of it though--it is very pretty, even if it is not as bright as you'd like, and it's finished! On to the next! Besides, you can frame it or turn it into a pillow, giving it a darker surround, whether of the frame or fabric, and then you might like it better. In any case, congratulations!
Congrats on a really pretty finish!
Congratulations on a beautiful finish!
Gorgeous finish! I have this one in my stash to stitch one day. Your Anna Thies is looking lovely too!
