Auction Day a Cross Stitch Kit by Janlynn

I did this piece as a Christmas gift for my future father-in-law. It took about a month to complete, working several hours a day. There are no empty spaces to speak of, which makes it take longer than others. There are many colors and blends of colors that are nearly identical, so that part can be challenging. Some backstitching detail isn't very noticeable due to the darkness of the threads, but you can tell it doesn't look finished without it. What I did NOT like about this piece is that it will NOT look like the picture. The reds and green threads provided for the tractors are not vibrant as shown. They look more like they have been faded by the sun, kind of more like a milky pastel. It came out OK, but just doesn't look as good as the picture.

I love this piece, being a farm kid it reminds me of the days on the farm. Thank you so much for your quick service and I look forward to future purchases.
