Woodland Owl
I bought this Dimensions kit here on ECS quite a bit ago, but didn't get to work on it until January this year. It took me several months to finish and I had quite a hard time with some of the greys and browns toward the end! I have this framed now and will post another pic of it in the frame once I get one taken. Just wanted to share!

I sometimes in the past have had trouble with running out of thread on Dimensions kits but this one had tons and tons of extra, so maybe they are getting better about thread amounts. If I were to do this again, I'd backstitch as I went, especially on the owl feathers which were a bear to keep track of where to stitch after it'd been a while and I couldn't always pick out quite the right spot from the pattern with all the colours looking so similar. Lots and lots of counting with the backstitch, whereas usually I'm used to being able to tell where stuff goes from what colours are where.

That's a beautiful work of art. I'm sure it wasn't easy on the eyes. Hope you do post an image. Do you frame yourself? Pam

Beautiful job! I wouldn’ even want to think about where all the backstitching would need to be done! :)
