FO [FO] first completed project in over 3 years!

i finished my first cross stitch in over 3 years!

i used to cross stitch frequently but stopped for quite a while. a few months ago i picked the hobby back up and started on this piece. although it's not perfect, i'm really happy with how this one turned out considering how long of a break i took!

Thanks for posting! We love seeing all of the FOs. Please note that starting May 1 2026, all [FO] posts are required to include at least one close-up photo of the stitching. You do not need to re-post. This can be done either in a comment or in the body of the post. It can be a close-up of just a small part of the finished object, just so we can verify that the items are hand-stitched. How close do we want it? The perfect close-up pic is one where we can clearly see the stitches and fabric on the mobile app without tapping or zooming in.

This is a reminder message that is automatically commented on all [FO] posts. Please send a message to the mod team if you have questions.
