Finally Finished!44 viewsTotal stitching time 113-1/2 hours. I used 6 skiens of 934, just less than 5 skiens each of 3051 & 3052. I finished each letter by itself, there are no threads going from letter to letter. Finished stitched area is: 20-1/4" wide x 35-1/2" high. The fabric measures 29" wide x 35-1/2" high.
