You'll have to excuse the state of the fabric as I have just taken it off the frame and in my excitement at having finished it wanted to get it shown right away. It needs pulling into shape and framing before it is truly finished but the stitching work is complete.
It is quite large at 16 x 11 inches.

I just love the shading on this copper kettle.

It wasn't until I looked at it through the lens that I could see the pepper in this pot of vegetables..jpg)
I need to get it stretched into shape now and look for a mount and frame for it. In the past all of my cross stitch pieces have been done as gifts for other people but I think this one will be staying with me.
I have several other pieces stashed away unfinished so maybe i'll get round to some of them now.
