Finished!!!!
I ordered this on June 24, 2015 and completed it November 28, 2015. It is gorgeous!!! Much prettier than the picture. It is easy, although lengthy, to do. No back-stitching and only full cross stitches, The pattern is very well laid out. I started on page one instead of in the middle as the directions suggest. I figured the size and added six inches. Because it is done as an all-over design, I used aida. Don't hesitate to order this one.
