70-35408 Welcome Bees and Butterflies Garden Counted Cross Stitch Set, 14 Cnt. White Aida, 9" x 12"

This was a very enjoyable cross-stitch pattern. The threads were well-organized and didn’t get tangled in the bag I kept them in. The string didn’t get fuzzy after being pulled through the fabric, and it was cut to a workable length. There was plenty of string for mistakes or knots. The pattern was easy to follow, though slightly complex, and the backstitch lines gave the project a detailed, finished look. It took me about 3 months to complete, working roughly 10 hours a week. I appreciated that I didn’t have to stitch the outside of the picture. The only challenge was finding the right placement for the first stitch, especially with the jar shadows being stamped on the fabric. Even though my first stitch placement was off, the final project still looked great, with only a subtle difference that was noticeable only to me.

Nice cross stitch! Dimensions always well made,

The media could not be loaded. Kit includes everything you need to complete it (needle magnet is separate). Design is easy to read, fabric is easy to maneuver. So far I love it, can't wait to complete it!

Super cute, love it

This is a splendid counted cross stitch kit. The design is beautiful and the pattern is very clear. The comments about having not enough thread seem baseless. My thought is that those folks did not separate the strands as instructed so they ended up using too much thread. There are a lot of colors and a lot to keep track of, plus it's a large size so I wouldn't recommend this for beginners. It's not really difficult, just a bigger canvas with a few different stitch types like half stitches and combined stitches. I definitely recommend this! Here's an update after completion of the project: this was a great kit. My one comment is that the quality of the thread is not as good as DMC, but for the price of the kit, that is to be expected. I compared the finished product to another kit using better thread and you can tell the difference, but if you just look at the finished product hanging on the wall in a frame it is quite beautiful. I still love it and recommend it!

Don’t start in the middle like normal. Start at the shadowing bc if you start in the middle the shadowing is off by 5 stitches one way and 10 the other wayThe jar doesn’t line up with the stamped shadowingIt’s a fun piece

beautiful and fun to stitch. cant give it a five though as the thread is inferior to dmc, and there is no reference/numbers for replacing it. tangles, snares, and breaks too easily. otherwise the kit and instructions were easy and the pattern was great. took me about a month.

This was very fun to do! Looks just like the picture and it's a great size! Worth the money! The colors are very beautiful. It was very relaxing!
