From a class a long time ago...

I took this class from Kelly Clark at The Needle Works ages ago.  Designed by Kelly with a stitch guide by her.  It was not easy for me.  Instead of persevering, I put it away.  For some reason, I was in the mood to work on it yesterday.  Here's how it looked when I pulled it out.

 I tore out all the background.  My canvas is off by two threads and I could never compensate.

Cleaned up

 I changed the border.  The darker red in the upper part is part of the original stitch guide.  The lower part is my contribution.
