It took me one month and one day to finish it. .... dec 17 through jan 18. i didn't work on it EVERY night....but most nights. my timeline was from 9pm to 1 or 2 am.
This one was fun and i got it done quicker than i expected it would. looking forward to the other 2 parts. it is 7" x 12". i didn't count the stitches...that would have been too depressing. LOL there is another picture this size and then the middle picture is wider. all 3 together make an Amish scene.
I sort of fudged a little. when you look at the little boy who is sitting on the quilt...his hat is sort of squared off instead of rounded. i was supposed to do half stitches on the corners to correct that but thought it wouldn't matter if i skipped that part and just chose one stitch or the other. well....in his hat....it does matter. LOL i'll try to do better on that in the next picture. i thought i would mess it up trying to get 2 colors in one block but i better try it next time. but the picture is for my own enjoyment and i don't mind.
I don't know quite why but i am drawn to Amish pictures and stories. i guess it's just the idea of a simpler time.
Do you cross stitch?

This is beautiful already ... and will be awesome when you complete the other two pieces. I no longer cross stitch by hand, but used to do lots and lots of counted cross stitch pieces. I loved it and am so pleased I got to have that experience.
OMG!! Girl you are on a roll!! You did that quick! I pulled a project out a few days ago, after reading about yours. Haven't touched it yet!! At least I thought about it and got it in view.LOL
