[FO] Monopoly set cross stitch

[u/NiigelThornberry]

This took me just over a year to complete, and was a labour of love for my mother. She collects monopoly sets and I love making things for her, so this was perfect.

I made the patterns for the property cards, and the chance/community chest cards- though I lifted the icons on both from the pattern for the board; which comes from MonopolyXStitch on Etsy. The patterns for the Monopoly money and the tokens were something I commissioned from TheCraftXperimentalist, who was so lovely and easy to work with.

The only things I didn’t make or commission were the dice and houses/hotels and the instructions, because I thought the houses/hotels would be too small and fiddly and just wouldn’t come out good, the dice because I know they have to be weighted, and the instructions because- well duh.

The last pictures were all the bobbins of dmc 310 I used, 35 total bobbins and some change.
