I started this in 2012 when I got married and finished it in 2017 by our 5th anniversary (I cross stitch on and off.)

I learned how to cross stitch from my mom when I was a kid in the 80s, but this was the first project I completed as an adult! It’s huge, about 15 x 25 inches. I love it.

I changed the original design just a bit, the original only had two colors, purple and maroon (I don’t remember the actual DMC floss numbers, sorry). I made all the leaves green.
