“I was in love with the design since 2016 when I saw it for the first time. I began to collect all required materials in May 2018. I have used Phantom 32ct by Picture This Plus because I thought it allow the design to shine.
The only change I made I replaced one element – instead of stitching seashell I have used Mill Hill seashell treasures. The rest of the design stayed as it is.
My work was on pause/progress very slow because my twins were born in 2019 and our family moved to Sète (France) a few months later.
Sète is famous for its fishing port and long history of fishing tradition. The city has a statue of an octopus located in the main square of Sète and can be considered its symbol. It looks like it was my destiny to stitch the design 😊.
I am very happy with the way it came out.“
