Clementine Hunter "The Baptism"
Just finished this needlepoint of one of Clementine Hunter's paintings called The Baptism. It is 15" x 18" on 13-mesh canvas, which comprises 45,630 stitches, not counting the oopsies I had to pull out and restitch along the way. It took a lot longer than I anticipated, but binge-watching several serials on Netflix helped to make the hours fly. Now it needs to be blocked and taken to the framers.
The kit came from The Quarter Stitch, a needlework shop in the French Quarter.
