Complicated Stitching

In an effort to blog more regularly, I joined a group that sends out stitching related questions on weekly basis, I think. Hopefully, since most of the time I simply have difficulty knowing what to blog about, this will help.

What is the most complicated piece you’ve ever completed?

I had some difficulty figuring this one out. The only one that popped into my mind was a Thomas Kinkade design, but that is a UFO, not a completed piece. Then I remembered the design I did for my parents a couple of years ago:

I designed and stitched it, and although overall it wasn’t a difficult piece, Dad’s jacket was frustrating both to chart and stitch. To keep the look of the plaid jacket, there were a lot of color changes, in varying shades of brown and beige. Mom and Dad loved it, though – it was an anniversary gift, and a complete surprise to Mom (Dad knew, as he’d asked me to do it).
