It’s time consuming before you start stitching ??
This chart is absolutely stunning once done. I have completed two, one for my daughter and one for my niece. You have to research your ancestors before you start, chart the dates and names and then get stitching. The extra work and time you put into this is fun and it’s exciting researching your ancestors then seeing all you’re female ancestors lovingly cross stitched to admire for generations to com. I left cloth at the bottom, folded on the back for future generations. Giving the recipient floss and alphabet chart in order that they may add names if needed.

Pennsylvania Map
What about Punxsutawney Phil? He's known all over the world.

Very intricate with 4 shades of yellow/gold that are very difficult to distinguish between.
The colors of yellow/golds were too close together and very difficult to see the difference. This was extremely difficult for me and I have cross stitched for 45 years! I finished it but with so many color changes the stitches don’t look as even as they should. The huge amount of back stitches covers up some of those wacky stitches. I had planned to make one for both sons in Army but will choose another pattern. The finished size also doesn’t fit stock round mattes so it is custom framed. Most stock circle mattes are 12” too small for this piece.

Turned out great
Everyone thought I was crazy to do this. They didn't really like it until I finished the project and saw how great it turned out. Now everyone likes it. I don't have it framed yet so I'm not including a photo at this time

Takes a bit of time.
Still working on the bottom. Counting is critical as it is densely stitched. I code to use 2 strands on 18 count and that added to the time it took. Found great videos for assembly. Can’t wait to get it done

A good addition to my collection
This was a nice small project. Took diligence and good lighting. Trimming was a little challenging.

Fun to watch come alive.
This jar liner was so fun to work on, and the colors are so vibrant when completed. It’s a good project for beginners, or for the very experienced.

Love this!
This is not a 'fast' finish but I love that it goes along with several other seasonal kits/charts. I have completed "Happy Easter", "February 14th", "December 25th", "October 31st" "Happy St. Patrick's Day" and "Thankful & Blessed" (I use for Thanksgiving). The finished products are all the same size so I can use one frame and having matted each one, change them out with each season. I just wish that "Sunflowers & Sunshine", also by Ursula Michael (Imaginating), was also the same size and them my year would be complete!

Stitching from the Heart
I enjoyed this project alot. It took me back to my younger days on the farm I grew up on with my dad's red pickup truck. I hope to have this project proudly displayed at community events where I sell my finished projects as i no longer have room in my home for all of my projects.

Such an eye-catcher, this one!
Never fear, the end result of this finished stitchery is well worth the "very difficult" assessment I've give it. To begin with, I think that Chris Dunn's illustrations are all extraordinary, and this stitched interpretation of one of his artworks is absolutely priceless. You must be determined though, this project took one-plus-year to complete, but I am so glad to have found the time. You must expect frequent, frequent, floss color changes on your needle, sometimes to take only a stitch or two in a certain color then re-thread and take another one or two. But the detail in this piece of art is well worth the determination it takes. Happy stitching!

Portrait of Christ
I loved the subject matter but the pattern was not too clear when it came to the facial features. There were several places that the color code was not very clear or couldn't make out at all. I think the pattern has to be looked at and made more clear.
