Tada! The Project Hail Mary Cross Stitch banner is done and up over my computer! It turned out even better than I had pictured it! I'm so thrilled!! And now onto the next project!

And here's the last part of my Project Hail Mary Cross Stitch project! It's a Rocky themed star! Now I just need to wait for my charms and chains to show up so I can put it all together!
