This is a cute, fun stitch.
I had a lot of fun doing this and I will leave it up from Memorial Day until after the 4th of July!

Fun project
Love the colored chart. Easy to follow and quick to stitch. Used DMC metallic threads for star. All full stitches. Really enjoyed stitching this.

Outstanding PDF pattern. Buy this!
I'm a professional writer about stitchery. I've also taught extensively, lectured and judged quilt and stitchery shows for over forty years. I say this to explain my depth of knowledge of stitchery patterns. If you make it with a needle, I understand the patterns. Here is my assessment of the new Everything Cross Stitchery PDF patterns. I downloaded Camelot Sampler by Teresa Wentzler and printed it out. First, at $7.99, the price was a bargain. I've paid a lot more and received less quality plenty of times. The thing that really knocked my socks off was the black and white pattern. While the grid was the standard 10-to-the-inch, the grid size was 2-inches square instead of 1-inch. I was able to actually see each symbol without effort. And I have beginning glaucoma, so not straining to see the pattern was sheer joy. The cover page featured a large picture of the pattern that was clear and precise in full color. (I have a Epson ET- 3800 printer.) Three detailed pages of directions with large diagrams came next. The pattern was on twenty-one 8.5 x 11 inch pages. While some of you will gasp at this number, remember that the color symbols are visible without squinting! In summation, this order was a test for me. And I'm overjoyed. Other companies should pay attention to this format. There are more Everything Cross Stitch PDF patterns on my must purchase list. Now all I have to do is figure out how to cram more hours in my day. Kudos to EverythingCrossStitch.com. You've done everything right! Sandra Millett

So nice
A great change of pace. Very easy to do. I did all the black first. Could have stopped then. Looked like a logo for a band. My son wants me to do another using dark red alone instead of black.

So beautiful
It is so beautiful when finished. The picture doesn't do it justice.

Lovely little picture
It changes colors many times so you have to pay a great deal of attention to what you're doing. I really enjoyed stitching this project and the end result was wonderful. It's a nice moment capturing a little girl's sledding adventure. I'm going to turn it into a tote bag and giving it as a gift. You'll really enjoy working this.

For a girl

Hard to see pattern
This is a cross-stitch nightmare. The pattern is in color with a colored background behind the symbols. A lot of the symbols and the grid are hard to see because the background colors are so dark. I tried to contact the manufacturer to see if I could get a black & white pattern, but they never responded.

Very detailed, but easy to read!
Although a previous review is mostly negative, I found the charts to be clear and concise. Will be necessary to keep your wits about you, because there are so many colors and constant changes of color due to the overall color scheme. They suggest following the pattern a page at a time, which may prove to be easier than trying to tape the pages together. The reason there are 12 chart pages is so that there is no need to enlarge the detail...easy on the eyes this way! ;) It looks to be a beautiful piece once completed. Just be careful to have enough fabric to allow for the edges finishing that you decide upon.

Pattern must be enlarged
This pattern is fairly easy for a full coverage piece. I’m very much enjoying working on it. The pattern is 3 pages and must be enlarged for old eyes. Because of “old eyes” I chose to stitch this on 32 count linen, 2 over 2, and it requires 3 skeins of floss for the red and the white, then 2 of the other 3 colors. Will post when it’s complete.

Taurus
The price seems a little "high", considering it's only the pattern and fabric.

Photo doesn't do it justice!
I said difficulty level of Difficult because, like most TW designs, this has lots of blends (one thread each of 2 different colours), fractionals (1/4 stitches) and top stitching. However, as Teresa Wentzler goes, maybe its more of an average! If this is your first TW, it is an excellent choice! I will say that the subtle colour variations that come out as this stitch is completed are simply amazing. The photo does *NOT* do it justice!! This pattern should be stitched on an evenweave fabric, not aida, due to the fractionals.
