Beautiful Pattern!
This one was fun to work on... A lot of variety. Gorgeous colors that came alive as I was stitching! Love Artecy patterns!

Enjoyable to stitch
I enjoyed a smaller pallet of colors that are complementary. It worked up quickly, and was relaxing and fun to see it come to life with swirls and spangles. I liked not having to backstitch or do half or quarter stitches. I appreciated the large print for the pattern and I kept a pencil handy to keep track of where I was while in the midst of a swirl.

Stunning Pattern!!
This pattern was fun to work on... the colors are a lot more vibrant than what the picture shows. It's gorgeous in person!! Artecy is the BEST designer of patterns hands down!

Lovely pattern, but.......
This is a lovely pattern, but the floss used is not nearly as bright or definitive as on the pattern cover. The greens especially and the pinks are all "dusty" versions and blend into each other which is rather disappointing. I was too far along to rip and change. There are also a number of symbol errors in the pattern, but being that everything is repetitive, they are easy to spot. The colors just need to be bolder/brighter. Otherwise it's a great pattern and fun to do.

So many French knots!
I am accustomed to designs with every tenth row clearly delineated and this chart does not offer that. There is an incredible amount of French knots — over 200!

Beautiful
This pattern just reached out and grabbed me. More beautiful when finished than in the pattern’s picture. Some of the colors are very close to being the same, so you have to pay attention to your threads.

Home of the Free?
I loved this design and personalized it by adding my husband's military service under the wing. However, I did change the lettering to say "Land of the Free" instead of "Home", because that's the way the Star-Spangled Banner is written. I could have left it the way it was designed, as I have seen "Home of the Free" in other artwork, but I knew that it would bug me if I didn't change it! I love Ursula Michael's designs and have done several. My husband loved that the design seemed made for him.

Great fall decorating piece
My favorite fall xstitch. I hang it on my bathroom wall where I can admire my work several times a day. Colors are bright and colorful.

Cloth is cheap
The thread is too thick for the fabric and the fabric would not hold its shape. The wool component of the thread is not appropriate

Beautiful colors
I love the colors in this piece. It made me smile all the way through its creation. The geometry made it easier to stitch.

Easy to complete
Cute pattern and easy to stitch! All full stitches and only a tiny bit of backstitching- on the broom and the fringe on the scarf. A great addition for those that like winter/snowman projects!

Cute, doesn't fit hoop
This is a super cute cross stitch pattern and very easy to do. The only complaint is that it does not fit into the black hoop as pictured, so you will be required to find a different frame.

Great Smoky Mountains - Large
I finished this in January 2026 & used an 18 count Aida, so it would be a tad bit smaller. Gave it as a gift to my brother who lives in North Carolina. He loves it. It turned out beautiful framed.

Beautiful Design
I haven't done any cross-stitch in 20+ years, but I wanted to do something for my great-niece to honor her birth this past May. I ordered this design with thread and fabric. It arrived exactly when I expected it, and I started stitching! The design is beautiful and detailed!! This was fairly easy to stitch, but might be a bit difficult for a beginner.

Lovely Pattern
I have done the Spring and almost finished with the Summer. I am about to order the Fall and then hope to get the Winter as well. I plan to hang them together when completed. I have never done a “set” like this before. I have loved doing these so much. The pattern looks so intricate when finished. I love watching the image come to life. I would gladly work more patterns from this author!
