Butterfly Forest
I made this project in 2020 for my sister as a birthday gift.
It’s not a stamped cross stitch project, it’s counted. Only real issue was, there were a few colors that came up short in floss. A few of the greens, the purple flowers and one of the yellows. And as you can see there is a lot of greens and purples in the project. It was a little disappointing because some of these kits can be a bit costly. I purchased this kit off of Amazon and looking at the reviews I did see where a number of people had the same complaint, short on floss for some of the colors and they had to go out and spend additional money to complete the project. Fortunately I’ve been doing cross stitch for years. So, in my cases where I have either left over floss or just colors I purchased randomly down through the years, a couple of the color I had and others I had floss colors that were close enough, so I used them.
The project was very time consuming as I’m sure you can imagine. A bit tedious but not too bad for me. I wouldn’t recommend this project for a beginner unless they have a lot of patience. It took several months to finish this one. But the completed project is absolutely AWESOME… I see Everything Cross Stitch has this kit as well. But, in spite of the issue with not enough floss for some of the colors, this is really a lovely piece! I had this one professionally framed and mailed it to my sister in another state. She was soooo overwhelmed when she got it, couldn’t say thank you enough for this lovely piece of artwork.
It how hangs on her living room wall. She said it’s a real show piece.
