Embroidery Projects

I recently finished a vintage cross stitch project from The Creative Circle. Published in 1987, it's called Moonlight Shadows. With a silk-screened background - it's certainly different from most of my projects.
It features 4 sheep standing in front of woods on a moonlit night. The trees are worked in white and took forever to stitch. I actually used a long-armed cross stitch for them, to get a little more texture.
With a minimalist palette of white, black, gray, browns, and a touch of blue for shadows - the overall mood is very rustic, very serene. I don't normally frame my projects right away, (I have a stack of projects that are stitched and signed, but not really finished...) but I'm glad I didn't postpone doing it for this one! I have been enjoying it a lot.
