Counted Cross Stitch: Millennium Wheel (original M. Kloeppel design)

 



The Bat has been designing and working cross stitch patterns of her own, now, for several decades. She finally decided it's time to share her work, for anybody who wants a satisfying, challenging project. The first pattern she's releasing – all of them will be free of charge – is up now, and all you need to do is just download the 15-page pdf.  Be forewarned, it's a seriously big project, and took her about a thousand hours to work, at roughly 1000 stitches per square inch. Unless you want a full-sized wall tapestry, I recommend following her suggestion and using the 30 count aida fabric, as stated at the top of the pattern… and, maybe, pick up a pair of good magnifying glasses while you're at it.

It's from a visit she and my seester made to the UK (the original piece, pictured above, is in the private collection of a dear friend).
