Finished - Faith, Hope and Charity

 It is finished and framed. After  12 to 13 years of on and off stitching I finished this design from Heaven and Earth Designs. It is 525 by 393 stitches, that makes 206,325 stitches on 32 count linen over one linen thread. I added gold thread to the halos so it sparkles when it catches the light. I had to re-chart the faces and  pull out and re-stitch some of the hands. The colors were just too dark and looked like mud. I really like the way that Faith's hands turned out.

The back of the piece looks like an impressionistic  version of the design.
