To have completed a project that big in less than 2 years is to me, spectacular! Bravo. Its so beautiful.

Honestly, I find the back side to be just as beautiful as the front! Sort of abstract and amazing! Great job on your hard work - it's beautiful!

Wow! Beautiful work. ❤

Un proyecto precioso , felicidades.saludos desde Barcelona 😘😘😘😘😘😘

Congratulations on your finish. You should be so proud. So many people start so many of these but never seem to finish.

That's 225,500 stitches in less than 2 years. That's insane. Congrats 🎉🎉🎉

Amazing!

Wow that pretty

Hermosa tu labor de punto de cruz...👍🏽

I am totally amazed!! I've been cross stitching for nearly 30 years and something that size would intimidate the hell out of me!! 😳

❤❤❤wow❤❤❤

This is truly incredible! I didn’t know cross stitch patterns could so big! It’s just amazing!

Wow😮

Amazing dedication. I have been working on a 120 x260 piece for that long. I still got another week or two to go.😅

That's gorgeous, even from the back! You finished that so fast, I could never!

amazing work :)

Wow and so fast!

Congratulations!

Meravellós! 😍

Wow congrats. It’s beautiful. A lot of work went into that piece. I’m impressed.

You did such a beautiful job. It inspired me to do The Last Supper which is quite large. Thank you for the inspiration.

👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿 Well done you!!!!... and like others have said below Thanks for showing the finished work. Too many people just keep starting projects but never seem to finish or even care that they don't! This inspires me to keep plugging away on my much smaller and simpler projects!!! Thanks again and another round of applause👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿

Sooooo quick girl!!! Congrats! It is beautiful ❤❤

Wow, wow, wow. That is marvelous. Terrific work. Back is great as well.

Very pretty! I find needle arts are a great stress reliever.😊

Stunning! Absolutely stunning!

It's beautiful. Congratulations

I am full of admiration for your enormous skill and patience. This is a huge labour of love and you should be so proud of yourself for achieving this amazing "canvas". (The back is perfect too). Best wishes, Marion, North Somerset coastline, England.

Congratulations on your finished piece. It is absolutely beautiful.

Congratulations on your beautiful finish - this is just beautiful. Happy Stitching ❤️🧵🪡🧵❤️

How I didn't know about Artecy before I cannot guess... Probably not the best thing for my stash that I did find it...

Absolutely beautiful! What an accomplishment!

😍

Stunning! I can't wait to see the next update when it's washed & ironed (and mounted?). Thank you for showing the back, too! Congratulations!!!🎉

Just beautiful. Awesome thanks for showing.

Oh Gemma! This turned out beautiful! Congrats on your finish. Thanks for taking us along on your journey. Much love ❤

Absolutely gorgeous!
