The Castle is complete!!

Construction on the remainder of Neuschwanstein Castle proceeded in a fast and furious manner this week and as of late Friday night, it was complete!

John Clayton (Heritage Stitchcraft) - Neuschwanstein Castle
Stitched using kit materials. Started January 1, 2011. Complete October 21, 2011.

And here are a couple of close-up photos:

I think the photos offer a pretty fair representation of the colours in the piece but I find it so difficult to photograph projects that are stitched on white fabric!

I'm really happy to have this project completed, especially since it was finished in less than a year after it was started! The next design in this series that I have to stitch is Paris, which I hope will stitch up as quickly. I won't be starting it right away though. I'm going to take some time to work on a few smaller projects, along with Rose Quaker, for the next little while. I started working on the ornament I'm going to donate to Ronald McDonald House last night and it's stitched up very quickly. I should have another finish to post soon!

Thanks for stopping by and I hope everyone is having a lovely weekend!

How did I miss this post? Your castle is lovely! I had this pattern myself, but gave it to a German friend who stitched it up in no time at all. At least I get to admire it when I go to visit her.

Congrats on a job well done.

I can't believe how quickly you finished this once you got going. It looks great!
