Giraffe Mother and Calf
What size fabric would I need to purchase to stitch this on 14 count Aida cloth? Also, what all comes in this kit? This is my first purchase from this company.

From looking at the information, it shows the completed picture as 8.75 inches wide x 15 inches tall.

If you wish to do this on 14-count fabric and
stitch ‘over one” and add 3 inches extra fabric to EACH side for mounting and framing, you will need a piece of fabric 15 inches wide x 21 inches tall.

And, keep in mind that most kits would not give you enough floss to get good coverage on 10-ct...what would be "good coverage" on 10ct? 4 strands? 6?

But I really like this pattern...thinking it would be great for DGSs. 😊

I love the pattern and would not mind doing it myself but I like to get the pattern, pick out my own material and floss. It is so gentle looking.

The projected size listed for this must be wrong. This is not a square pattern. It can't be
8 3/4" x 8.3/4".

If you look in the box at the top of the project page, it says the size on 10 count is 8.75 x 15 inches. This would translate to a stitch count of 88 x 150. On 14 count this would be a size of 6.2 x 10.7 inches. Add 2 or 3 inches per side for finishing, so a minimum size of fabric would be 10.2 x 14.7 inches. Hope this helps! Mary
