Map of Norway by OOE for my parents

Zuletzt bearbeitet von urmel um 2012-11-24 20:11

Here is my actual WIP, that I really had not planed before. I was looking for a christmas present for my parents this year, and at my local needlework shop I found this kit by OOE. The kit contains linen but I work on white aida.
Since more than 40 years my parents go on holiday to Norway almost every year. Meanwhile they have much friends there and both can speak the norwegian language very well.
Ive started stitching rather late, so I hope that I can finish it before christmas...

    Name of the Pattern : 09800 "Norge" (Norway) by Oehlenschlaeger
    Grid (W*H) :   54 x 72 cm
    Fabric : Aida 14ct using DMC (17 colors)
    Starting Date : 10-11-2012
    Finishing Date: ??? (24-12-2012, I hope so :) )









Thanks for looking. I hope you like my work. :)

Thank you so much for your kind words and ratings! :$:$
I hope youll be right and I can finish it in time. ----- but there are millions of backstitches in this pattern and the chart is quite confusing to read :Q:@:@:@
