Artist's Comments

This is one of my original Cross Stitch designs, designed and stitched by me.

I'm submitting it to enter it into a monthly feature at :iconthecanadianherald: based on our national anthem.

Thanks for looking!

Sandy, that is amazing!! I don't know how you can design your own, it's hard enough for me to follow the pattern of someone else's. Great job!

Wonderful!!!! I especially love the colour combination in the leaves and I am so glad you went with the realistic maple leaf than the red one :D Beautiful work.

Thank you!

that was my biggest decision in the project - to make the leaves more naturally coloured or to go with the "Canadian Red" leaf!

I decided to go against the grain and go for the natural look - and I was quite pleased with how it turned out.

I'm glad you like it!

Your gallery is lovely! I'm not very good at drawing hair/fur - yours looks great!

Very nice, although I'm not into cross-stitching (or cross=dressing). I'll bet Canada is MUCH nicer than New Mexico in the summertime!
