Product Reviews:See what folks are saying!

First of all, this is solid cross stitching, no unstitched areas. This is the first time I have done anything like this and it is challenging. There are over 80 colors and a lot of constant color changes....lots of single stitches of one color. Definitely not a pattern for a beginner or someone who does not have some years of cross stitching under their belt. Lots to watch and count and many shades of same colors that make it hard at times to keep track of where you are. I learned to not stitch certain scattered stitches to use as "markers" for counting and locating other stitches until the area was done. This works really well for me. The pattern is laid out beautifully and printed out on 18 pages making it easy to make a working copy. The symbols are easy to read, although I would have preferred different symbols that would have been easier to put in groups like upper case letters, lower case letters, symbols, numbers, etc. With so many colors, this would make it easier to organize and quickly find colors for whatever area I am working on. The whole packet of instructions, pattern, stitch counts and sizes are very well done. It is challenging but I am totally enjoying working on it even though it's slow going. I would definitely get another pattern from Artecy. And the stitching is turning out like the picture.

This project is large. Many times stitches change frequently. Most importantly, this is a kit and they do not give you enough embroidery thread to finish, only about half of what is needed in the most frequently used colors. They do not give DMC equivalents and there is no one to contact for info. You will have to match colors as best you can. But it is a beautiful design and well worth the effort.

This has been a bit of a challenge to stitch, as there are several color symbols that are very similar, for instance, there is a (‘) and a (“) and a (*). The problem is that you go blind trying to distinguish which is which because the graph is smallish. In addition, the floss colors are not DMC, and she does not give the DMC conversion colors, so you are basically on your own with the colors. I purchased 3 of her month gardens, so I am very disappointed.

Really weird that the floss does not come already on the guide and I have to separate them by myself. Also, the floss organizer does not have enough spots for all the yarn which makes no sense. The guide is easy to read, although very small.

Very complicated pattern to begin with but with no color key or stitch guide, I had to use a magnifying glass to look at the photograph to finish this project. Very disappointed in this item.

Only reason I didn't give 5 stars is the chart is way too teeny tiny and the symbols way way too tiny. I love the subject matter and colors but sooooo hard to see the symbols. I had to invest in a magnifying stand to stitch this pattern. It would have been easier if the printer of the pattern had just made the chart and symbols a little bigger. That said, it's a beautiful pattern.

LOVE Teresa Wentzler but I don't do down-loadables.

I wish there were more of these stained glass patterns! Great end result but it's a little boring to stitch with the big sections of solid colors. However, the humming bird and cardinal make a nice set!

I love these stained glass square patterns and wish there were more! The actual colors in this one are prettier than pictured when it all comes together. I used a second red on the cardinal's breast to give it a bit more depth. It's a little boring to stitch with all the big solid color sections, but it's easy and pretty fast in general, and the end result is very nice

THis is more difficult than expected. there are four colors to create the shading, so there are lots of little sections with about three stitches per color. I added the blue to make a collar for the cat. Still working on this one!

This is a cute and easy pattern. I changed up the colors a bit and haven't added the name yet as I am awaiting the birth of the baby this is for!! I really like the font for the alphabet and would use this in other projects!

I stitched this for a much loved granddaughter. She loved it. Was a quick and easy project.

I really liked this project. I used it as a birth announcement and it turned out great. Sue Hills is one of my favorites. Her designs are pretty and very easy to follow. I still love doing counted cross-stitch at my age of 90. Rose Hanson

I did this as a Christmas gift. I changed the colors to look more like their house. I added their name and they loved it.

I love Imaginating products especially those done by Sandra Cozzolino.

This is beautiful, but it keeps you on your toes, mostly back stitching…

I love these patterns… I stitch them on perforated plastic…. They are sturdy and look beautiful on a tree…

I love these patterns, I like an antique look, so I use Perforated paper… They store really nice too.

You have to be on your toes with this one… But the finished product is stunning

This pattern took me forever to work with all the half-stitches! When I finally completed it, I was quite pleased with the final product.
