I have been working on a large cross stitch design and wondered if
anyone has seen a larger one. My project is of the South Portlandhead
Lighthouse in South Portland, Maine. It is 48"x48" at 14 count aida.


I think we need to be careful as to what is meant by "large". The
smaller the count, the larger the piece will be physically, but to me
"large" means the number of stitches. If your piece is solid stitching,
then it is an impressive 672 stitches square; or around 450,000 stitches.
So far as I am concerned that is *huge*. However, if it is not solid
stitching, then it may not be that "big". The biggest I have done is about
500 by 250 stitches; or around 225,000 stitches (The Naked Maja).
