More like a lifetime at the rate I stitch. They are lovely though.

Anyone that wants to do it? I'll cheer you on from the side lines!

I think this one of the Sistine Chapel could give it a run for its money!

How do you suppose she did it? What kind of stand would you have to use to hold it? The weight of the material would be one thing and then as she stitched the added weight of the floss. It would be very interesting to see the process she had to go through to stitch it. How often did she get bored and had to set it to the side? Did she ever think this will never get done? I wonder if she had smaller projects going at the same time? The questions go on and on.

she stitched it all in a hand held hoop, she never got bored and did nothing else, not even work she was totally obsessed and and and....she only ate macaroni as it helped her see better?

That's my crazy theory!

I don't know, see all I ate for a month was macaroni and cheese and then my glasses started giving me a migrine, apparently they were suddenly too strong!

hehe Since I started living on Pasta my eyes have improved so much! Only I go through glasses so fast. Not a clue if it's from the pasta or if my eyes have just decided to correct eventually, but there you go. A little tit bit for you :P

I have....ummm... I can see close up perfectly now, but I need glasses for distances.
