Sloppy Pattern
I was disappointed when I received this pattern - the picture looks so nice, but the pattern itself is not as detailed as it appears. With some imagination, I will create a picture that looks good both up close and far away - by using quarter, half, and three-quarter stitches to fill in the large gaps between the cross-stitching and the backstitching. The rectangles in the background are actually the embossed first letters of the names of shells. I could not tell that from the picture. So, while I might not recommend this pattern to others, I think the pattern is salvageable if a lot of detail is added.
