I've started the backstitching on these houses, and it really makes them pop. Sometimes, it really just strikes me how much difference such a simple thing makes.

This is really beautiful! Such a great job stitching.
Leeanne
Sometimes backstitching really doesn't do that much in my opinion, but other times it just makes it - and for this, the beauty is in the detail. Such lovely work!!
Thank you both!
