I’ve never seen a cross stitch like this! It looks like a photo

Is this Geronda Ephraim of Arizona? Lovely :) it can’t be a kit surely!

Beautiful! Can’t wait to see it when it’s finished

The reason I find it helpful is because it helps me count easier, I have more reference points to check against to see whether I’ve counted correctly. It’s not infallible, it just feels like the natural way to go for me

Thank you both for such lovely words! To be honest @deberalynn I didn’t know there was another way to stitch 😅
