60s Disneyland Sign finish

Post by devinf »

I've been working on this as a present for my aunt. She grew up next to Disneyland (she and my dad were there opening day) and still loves it. It's also the first time I've done back stitching. Happy to finish and it was a great learning piece for me.

It looks great. I am NOT a fan of back stitching at all...

Your stitching is terrific, and the slide show was great. For a while I thought my eyes were deceiving me! What a nice gift for your aunt.

What a fun piece! I'm about to tackle a lot of backstitching on my project and I keep putting it off. I do know that it adds a lot!

TracyG, I made the pattern myself using KG Chart. I've got a few others in the works, but this time of year is super busy for my real job (chef) so I haven't had the time to put in on getting them done.

Not sure if there are rules here about linking etsy shops...? But here it is: https://www.etsy.com/shop/DevosGardenKitchen
