I finally finished my castle last night, after how many years? Actually, I didn't do the last half-inch at the bottom because the cloth kept slipping out of the clips on the scroll frame. That made it difficult to put the needle in accurately. And that last half-inch is just more greenery. I'll show you a picture of my finished piece once I wash and iron it.

Is it embroidery or needlepoint? I love doing both. Looking forward to the picture. Have a good day.

Cross-stitch, done in cotton floss. Needlepoint is done in wool.

I don't know... I saw a much better pattern of the same castle when I was almost finished this one. But this pattern was free to download and I already had a big enough piece of aida cloth and lots of floss...
