What is Throw Back Thursday? Something from the past. In my case, a completed cross stitch project from 15 years ago.
I started this Shepherd's Bush cross stitch in late 1996. I bought it as a kit duty-free on Norfolk Island during a holiday. It is a large project - 70 x 70cm. My heart does flips when I see the beads, charms, bells, ribbon and wool added to the shepherd. It was framed and completed for Mary's nursery in mid-1998 15 years ago.It is stitched on a 32 count linen. The frame mount was customised to this project. I don't think this design has dated at all and would happily stitch it again.
Don't forget to post a link and join my Linky Party so I can check out your current WiP (Work In Progress) here. I am sure others would like to check out your post too.
Thanks for wandering through the garden of my past...

Love the SB finish! It is fun to see what we were stitching way back then. LOL
Oh wow, it's beautiful! I guess you're a fan of Shepherd's Bush, huh? They have such attention to detail. I'm going to check them out and maybe find one I can add to my next stash infusion :D
What a gorgeous design Jan.

You did a great job and you are right it looks like something stitchers would stitch on now.
That's a great design. I love the soft colours Shepherd's Bush use.
Throwback Thursday is a good idea for a blog post too. I shall keep it for a quiet blogging month and do one!
