I made this one and its AMAZING ! Took me nearly 2 years but its so lifelike its scary. I stitched on 28ct, used 1 thread and did it in each hole. I chose to use 1 thead and in each hole rather than over 1 to keep it a workable size. So happy I did because it looks like a painting, its just beautiful. It also helps to make a copy of the pattern and use the copy as your working copy, as you go along, Highlight your finished squares. Helps me to keep track of whats done/whats not done. When you finish you have a TREASURE.
