I stitched this one on 16ct Heartland by Picture This Plus using the called for floss. I added the initials of my two sons.

This was stitched by Joanne Pomer and finished by Terri Caitlin. It was stitched 1 over 1 (not sure what count) and mounted on a box she got from Target. I love it. The top portion of the Mighty Acorn Sampler from the Winds of Autumn book. Stitch Count for just the top portion of the sampler is approximately 100w x 62h

Little Acorns Box.

I plan on stitching the top portion to fit on a wooden jewelry box I got from Hobby Lobby a couple of years ago. The box dimensions are: Length: 8 1/4" Width: 11 3/4" Height: 2". The glass opening measures 10 1/4 x 6 1/4.

If I stitch the piece on 25ct Jobelan over 2, the finished stitched piece will measure 8" x 4 3/4".
