First Needlepoint Finish 2020 - Two Cabins

It's back from the framers and I loved stitching it.   I figure I'd share the finish after framing was done with all the information shared at the same time.


Designed by Nancy's Needle and the stitching started on December 23, 2019 would you believe it was finished on January 12, 2020 (it's a first for me tracking the start and the finish dates of a project - I probably will continue doing this).
Stitched on 20 Count Mono Canvas as instructed with the called for threads using a #22 Tapestry needle with one strand of:

Snow 09 - Silver 
Watercolours  063 - Black Forest
Watercolours  083 - Pine Forest
Watercolours  136 - Cedar
Watercolours  137 - Copper
Watercolours  159 - Silver Blue
Watercolours  196 - Sable
#5 Perle Cotton 4045 - Evergreen Forest
#5 Perle Cotton 4140 - Driftwood
#12 Tapestry Braid 3203 - Cat's Eye

DMC Floss #310 - Black - 2 strands used with #26 needle



Stitched with the called for Stitches:
Slanted Gobelin
Bargello Tuck (securing tail ends of threads)
Mosaic Stitch
Long Stitch
Horizontal Straight Stitch 

Overall I enjoyed this project and it was easy for me to focus on.
I'll be gone for about a month visiting with my Mom.
TTFN,

Jane
