Has anyone done this pattern? I need some advice
Hello, I have just started this pattern and have the upper left hand corner done 20x20 stitches, and the colors are so dark it doesn't look like the picture. Has anyone done this there was some chat on this a few years ago any advice would be appreciated I have e-mailed mystic stitch with the question also. Thank you, April

April, I don't think you have to worry about a thing. This is a very large picture. It is 17.9" Wide x 21.4" high. This means you are going to have to do more than several blocks of 10 x 10 stitches to see what this picture will actually be. I am assuming you started in the upper left corner? I would encourage you to keep going to the center of the picture. I think that will give you a sense of when the color changes. I have never seen this picture. It is absolutely the most beautiful, peaceful thing I have ever seen. Best of luck. Be patient!!

There was someone that bought this pattern a while back. Did you put this picture on the ECS "Chat" board when you bought it?
I will go see if I can find the "Chat"

Well,
I found 2 "chats" (page 96,97) but it was regarding whether it was a "Kit", which it isn't and what type of fabric to use.
See what you hear from Mystic Stitch and I would keep going on it because if you started in the upper Left corner, there does appear to be a small dark area in that corner.

It got a 5 star review on the product page....this one makes me catch my breath every time I see it. I hope there are no problems with it. One of the greatest things about these patterns is the contrasts so I would expect a bit of dark to frame it. I hope the lady who stitched it responds....I'll post on her post to see if she responds....

Oops...someone named Jill did the review but she doesn't seem to be on the posts.

Thank you for all your posts I will keep on stitching and see how it goes I'll let you all know if mystic stitch gets back in touch. Since all of you are so experienced in stitching what do you think of doing the swans in petite point? I did a lovely picture of a woman and baby and the faces and hands were done in petit point which is four cross stitches in one square it really made the faces delicate,thanks again for your posts I wish I could see all the work you all have done.

Started this pattern and don't think i am finishing. Color look nothing like the picture, not happy with this pattern at all. Started in bottom corner and have done up to swans and they look too purple.

I have stitched about 1/4 (about 150 hours so far) of the lower right corner and agree with lori0058's post of 2/14/16. Has anyone else commented with the swans coloring-"too purple"?
