Order extra floss
I have been working on this project for about 2 months now and I ordered it with the ad all button. It came with one of every color listed. I am now on my 4th black color 310 and running low on some other colors. It is very dark and hard to see what the difference is in the color you are working on so you might want to look at changing sooner the colors out. The dark Navy blue and the black are to close together. Does anyone else have this issue when ordering projects?

Oh, I love Cody Country Designs!
Last year, I did American Pride. It's an Eagle head, with the flag stitched so it looks like a reflection on it.
I don't know about extra floss, as I did it on 25 count black fabric, over one, so it was a lot smaller than the design stated.

Everything Cross Stitch only sells patterns and supplies. The designer that makes the pattern(s) is the one who makes the suggested supplies list. I have stitched patterns that have many flosses that are similar in color and combined used fewer colors by combining shades that are very close to each other. It saved a lot of time because I wasn't changing colors so often. I was happy with finished results.

I'm working on a project also from Cody Country. I'm cross stitching the U. S. Army Seal for my DH. It called for 1 skein of DMC 310 (black). When I took a second look at it, I knew 1 skein really wouldn't be enough. I put 3 skeins + a partial skein in my project bag before I started stitching. I may add another just to be sure as I still have about a quarter of it to finish stitching.
I have noticed the DMC 939 (dark Navy Blue) and 310 (Black) are very hard to tell apart, especially when stitched next to each other.
Also, there are a lot of confetti stitches. Single stitches in 1 color, the next stitch is a single stitch in a different color. You are constantly changing needles. I have a needle for each color of thread which I leave in the bobbin when I'm not using it.
Eventually I'll get it finished.
