My first big cross stitch project

This is the first big cross stitch project I have ever taken on.

It is 59cm x 33cm, containing 75 colours) and every single piece of aida will be stitched.

I will be using a 14ct aida and my prefered choice of threads are DMC.

I started this about 3 years ago as my daughter was a fan of the disney TinkerBell fairies animation films and so for a suprise I decided to start the project.

I can now finally see the end in sight and thankfully my daugter still enjoys the Tinkerbell movies as I now only need to add some hand stitched detail into the picture just to highlight the wings.

I had found my image on the web and then used a free coversion software to convert the image to a detailed cross stitch design. This also included the colour number for each thread, although with hind sight I feel they are slightly darker than the original colours which is a bit of a dissapointment.

Below is the finished design without the detailing which I will upload when I have found the time to finish the project.
