It took just over a year to stitch this, but I did not work on it exclusively. I stitched it on 28 ct. and the wording came out clear. I considered going back over the wording with an extra top leg stitch to give it a sharper look. However, laziness prevailed, and I think it looks fine without the extra effort. The foliage looks great too! Overall, I'm pleased with the charting of this charming piece and with the final stitched product.
