It is stitched on 25 count ivory lugana with DMC floss ( I changed one color) with one strand over one fabric thread. I can't imagine how big this would be if I did it over 2 on 28 or 32 count! It's big enough this way!
I am very, very pleased with it. I didn't stitch the words 'a token of love' in the red wreath that is in the center near the top. I think I will put my initals and year in there, but I need to think on that a bit and decide what alphabet to use.
I will be framing this one, but probably not until May when my LNS has their annual framing sale. I will miss spending a few days each month with 'Rosie'.... but there are so many other things that need to be stitched.....
