Ready for framing. I finished the Semiquincentennial Eagle yesterday. After being off by 1 stitch on the right side of the eagle and spending quite a bit of time trying to find the mistake, I was able to move forward and complete the project. It was a joy to stitch! If you would like to stitch the pattern, you can order it from everythingcrossstitch.com .
I stitched my project on 28 ct Light Taupe Lugana over 2 fabric threads. I used Kreinik #002 #4 Braid for the metallic. It took a little more than 1 1/2 spools. Kreinik is hard to come by these days but if you have 2 spools in your stash, it should be more than enough. I'll take this up to Hobby Lobby and get it framed. I'm thinking something simple like a metallic gold frame but I have to see what they have. I'm not framing it myself, I don't like doing that and my Hobby Lobby does a nice job.
