"The Project"

Eight years and 133,171 stitches in, Gary Schneider from Yorba Linda, California is 78.8% completed at last check-in with his amazing task of doing a Golden Kite project completely in silk thread on linen.

Yes, you read correctly. This man dares face the challenge of a Golden Kite cross stitching project on linen, in silk thread while in the spotlight for everyone to see. Is this man crazy?

Golden Kite is well-known for their advanced, difficult patterns that are as lifelike as the most advanced painter's painting. Mr. Schneider is doing Picture Gallery with Views of Modern Rome. This project rates a four on Golden Kite's difficulty rating of "starter" to six.
