Unusual project, not what I was expecting and not something I'd make. Maybe it's the way modern embroidery is done, but I was surprised how large her stitches are and how far she carried the embroidery floss on the back of the piece. Although it's petty of me to say, her pronunciation of skein as skeen instead of skane really annoyed me.
