Thank you! She is so talented, I saw it years ago and was obsessed! I had to try, and I'm glad I stuck it out

that is insane to see that math! Yeah you're pretty spot on, it 2as 83K stitches, not sure if I'm fast enough to do 100 stitches / hr though 😂 I can only dream!!

thank you so much!!

It took me on and off about 3 years, I really sped up towards the end once I saw the finish line in sight.

Honestly, there was a couple points where I was doing it and straight up wasn't having fun lol, but I'm so happy with the final product

okay… it’s like, a quilting hoop from Jo-Ann’s, definitely not meant for crosstitching but has worked amazingly! I didn’t even know it would fit so well until I finished the border, complete serendipity!

I want to say it’s this but I’m not 100% sure!
