Army Emblema Cross Stitch Pattern by Imaginating

The colors of yellow/golds were too close together and very difficult to see the difference. This was extremely difficult for me and I have cross stitched for 45 years! I finished it but with so many color changes the stitches don’t look as even as they should. The huge amount of back stitches covers up some of those wacky stitches. I had planned to make one for both sons in Army but will choose another pattern. The finished size also doesn’t fit stock round mattes so it is custom framed. Most stock circle mattes are 12” too small for this piece.

My significant other is retired Army. I’m looking forward to stitch this for him.
