I finally finished the Summerland cross stitching pattern that I started on September 16, 2024. This was intense stitching, with color changes every two or three stitches. All the blending makes for a beautiful finished piece, but this is one pattern that was frustrating to follow because of it. I steadily worked on the project until January 2025, when I took a break to be obsessed with paint by number projects. I picked the stitching back up in July 2025, and finished all the full cross stitches in August 2025. The backstitching was so frustrating, so I actually worked on it very little between August and December, when I finished the project on December 5, 2025. This piece took me about 7 months total
