Prairie Garden, A a Cross Stitch Pattern by Prairie Schooler, The

Again, must be very careful with counting when stitches are separated by white space. I had to rip out quite a few screw ups because of miscounting.

Just purchased this chart. Five stars for the stylized, elegant flowers! I look forward to stitching. One caveat. Remember those beautiful full color folders or booklets (Leisure Arts, etc) on glossy, thick stock with one or two of the chart blocks on a page? This is not that. One flimsy sheet, lightly coated full color on the outside, folded into 8 1/2 by 11. All 12 charts printed 10 x 13 inches, with color legend, explanations, in black and white on the inside. Can enlarge the charts yourself, in these convenient times, of course. Three stars for the chart presentation. Also, it seems hard to find those prepared Afghan block fabrics, should you care to stitch that format.

My son gave me this pattern last year as one of my Christmas presents...I had my doubts at first about it. The moment I started stitching it was love at first stitch. Took me about 5 weeks working off and on to complete. I hung it in the living room where it can be seen as I sit and work on other cross stitch projects. Love it!!
