Oh boy, I have one of these too. I learned that I do not like needlepoint. I am considering giving it away.........I will give it serious consideration!

I have a half worked version of this as a wool on a printed canvas tent stitch embroidery. I bought it from a lace supplier (Hornsby is ringing memory bells) many years ago. It is not a great success as the scale of the stitches does not suit the detail in the picture, especially around the hands, bobbins and threads, and the directional line of the tent stitch means that more detail is lost or distorted. But I did learn that I hate working on pre-printed canvas. Maybe I'll finish it one day, and use it on the side of a pillow bag or similar.
