Finish #2 for 2021

Finish #2 for 2021. A Stitcher's Hands - Beloved.  Done on Stormy Night lugana, 25 count, 1 over 1, using Anchor black ( 403 ).  It's a printed on one side mottled gray fabric.  It was my first time using Anchor black to see of the coverage was better, even on 25 count, and it was.  I started this in March of 2018, and last picked it up in June of 2020.  Finished design area measures 7 1/4 wide by 18 3/4 high.  It used 6 skeins of Anchor floss.  I could have added cherub bow strings, but they would never have been a straight line... so I didn't.  Below is where it was when I picked it back up. 
 
I added the text at the bottom to say - You Had My Heart - on the finished version.

It's a long way to a finish around here...

Beloved - from A Stitcher's Hands.
Since I forgot the after photo, I went back and added more to get a photo.  Finished the first 3 pages.
Basically three more pages to go.  I think it's a 25 count gray evenweave, one over one, using Anchor black.  But it's time to put it back in the pile.  The stitch count is something like 200 by 500.  
Above is was when it got picked back up.
Then, Prairie Schooler - Christmas Village.
This was the between project with Beloved before and after.  And the before photo below.
