Stitch Count by Color
I just purchased the download version from Kooler. It's advertised as Pattern Keeper. It does import, but the colors on the pages are read individually (is #164 is listed 5 times) and you have to input the floss numbers. Here are consolidated counts, as you will need more than the listed 1 skein per color. DMC 164 - 626 stitches, DMC 208 - 603 stitches, DMC 210 - 130 stitches, DMC 310 - 6304 stitches, DMC 327 - 986 stitches, DMC 349 - 3639 stitches, DMC 422 - 646 stitches, DMC 471 - 559 stitches, DMC 498 - 2560 stitches, DMC 597 - 195 stitches, DMC 740 - 2651 stitches, DMC 741 - 1191 stitches, DMC 742 - 809 stitches, DMC 775 - 542 stitches, DMC 825 - 273 stitches, DMC 826 - 411 stitches, DMC 947 - 4910 stitches, DMC 3051 - 613 stitches, DMC 3052 - 786 stitches, DMC 3078 - 626 stitches, DMC 3607 - 359 stitches, DMC 3755 - 464 stitches, DMC 3766 - 248 stitches, DMC 3787 - 458 stitches, DMC 3834 - 1273 stitches, DMC Blanc - 304 stitches, blended DMC 310/327 - 258 stitches.

Fun!
This is a relatively quick stitch and fun to do. I noticed the color key had 2 of the symbol "N" with different floss colors for each. Also found a symbol on the pattern, a "t" that did not appear on the color key. I just used the color that made the most sense for the "N" and for the "t" I went to my stash and again used what made the most sense.

Beautiful Gifts
I’ve stitched 4 out of 6 of these for gifts. The chinoiserie palette is quite fetching. Some of the designs are a bit asymmetrical, so you may want to take some creative liberties when stitching

Traditional Fun
Surprising detail for such a little feller. Going to be a Christmas gift for my brother this year. The beads were a fun challenge for my mighty mitts.

Fun Still Life
Great little kit, the wool on 15-count provides excellent coverage. Stitched it for Mother’s Day a couple years ago

Easy Full Coverage
Super fun little pattern! This at one time was my largest full coverage piece. I stitched all the black first so that I then didn’t have to count anymore and kind of turned it into a paint by number

A fun challenge!
Super fun project, and personally my largest full coverage piece so far! Not too much confetti but probably still a bit overwhelming for a new stitcher. The finish is lovely, really feels like you’re laying on the forest floor on a crisp autumn day

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.

I stitched this for my daughter's first baby, and it came out beautifully. I have gotten so many compliments on how beautiful the colors are! It was a joy to do.

Easy stitching
I stitched this for my daughter’s birthday. I used more girly colors for her dress. Easy to stitch. Finished in no time. She loved it. ML
