Gift Exchange Portrait
The past two years, a small group of other stitch people stitchers and I have done a little gift exchange. I got @houseinstitches and of course, I had to stitch her, her husband and their 4 kids. So this is her adorable, beautiful family!

The piece itself
I present to you; the 'our family' portrait! A six-person stitch people cross-stitch & embroidery piece with custom lettering and long grass (that matched the reference photos used).

If you follow me in Instagram (and have done for a number of months now), this piece might actually feel quite familiar. I used it a fair number of times in regular posts and quite a few reels! This particular one is a personal favourite of mine 😂
