This is a cross stitch design in 24 parts that I am following on Papillon Creations.
It is a complete mystery how it will turn out but I was thrilled to see my favorite subject matter (Peacocks) appear.
It will take approx 2 years to complete as one part is issued per month.
I am just about to start part 8.
It is stitched on 28ct light coffee evenweave and will measure 22 1/2 inches by 22 1/2 inches when it is complete.

Part 1

part 2

part 3

part 4

Part 5

Part 6

Part 7

I'll update when I have finished part 8.
