Paris Romance
Turned out beautifully!

French instructions
This pattern is in French. It does not look very difficult; however, I wish it had English translations.

Great chart
Chart is easy to read. Loved that it was DMC floss. I put it on grey Aida. Looks fabulous, if I do say so myself

Great Pattern!
The pattern and instructions were super easy to follow and worked up just like the picture. It would be a great first big project for a beginner. The snowflake outlines were tedious but worth it once they were finished.

Quick and easy
Quick little project to give as an ornament or small framed picture. Gave it to a friend who loves snowmen and hot chocolate. She puts it out every year.

Wedding gift
Probably the most complex project I have done. Usually pick quick and easy. Take your time and mark off the stitches as you work them.

Not for beginners
I am still working on this for my husband. It is working up absolutely beautiful and he is enjoying watching it come to life - he refuses to look at the picture only the project at the end of each day. But all of the 1/4 stitches are A LOT! I have gotten a little frustrated at times and have put to the side to work on something smaller and easier but in the end I know it will be a cherished project. Beginner stitchers I suggest marking off your stitches as you go cuz very easy to get lost. And take your time. You will be rewarded when you are done.

Fun project
Fun easy quick project and the saying made me smile while I was working it. Plan to put by my Christmas cookie trays LOL. Only problem I came across is that the same symbol was used for two different colors - so make sure to refer to the picture. I don’t have the pattern in front of me but I believe it is in the thumbprint cookie.

Looks great!
This stitched up quickly and looks amazingly realistic! The next time I do this one I will stitch with 3 threads (for 14 ct) instead of 2, I think it will make the darker colors look better since the design depends on an optical illusion and better coverage of the white aida helps that.

Nice complement to others in series
The project was easy to stitch, but the backstitching pattern was difficult to decipher and didn't match the sample on the front of the flyer. I have stitched the fall and winter patterns and am working on the spring. They fit very nicely in a standard 8 x 10 frame and look amazing on my desk in the church office.

My son will love this.
My son spent 22 years in the 101st Airborne, the "Screaming Eagles", he will love this. To Jennifer who had problems with the pattern: take the pattern pages to Office Depot and have them enlarge them to ledger size (11x17). Makes reading the pattern a breeze!

Nice colours
It's a nice kit, well put together and excellent instructions. I just started it and it's my first time using the wool/acrylic thread. It's different - not in a bad way, just feels odd compared to the usual DMC cotton. Two things though: 1) I found the supplied needle too thick of a gauge to fit through the 14 count Aida with the wool/acrylic thread. I used a more slender needle and it seems to be easier. 2) When Riolis created this kit, I really wish they had supplied two charts, one showing the outlining and one without it. The chart is in colour and some of the shades are quite similar. The outlining occasionally covers up the symbol and you have to look closely to ensure you are stitching the correct colour. I am looking forward to finishing it, as I have the perfect frame for it!

All one color!
I’m not finished with this one yet, but I’m enjoying making it. I’m about 3/4 done with the top half. Haven’t done the alphabet yet.

Beautiful Stain Glass Cross
I have always loved stained glass windows in churches and when I saw this pattern it was a given it would be stitched. It was calming and enjoyable to stitch. Highly recommended pattern.

design has to be adjusted if bookmark has fewer rows than the pattern
It was easy to adjust sizing and colors and fit well with the gifts I make for my church choir each year.

lovely pattern
gorgeous pattern but actually had to order a whole additional kit to get enough floss to correctly finish the project!

so gorgeous
although i have yet to start this project, am truly looking forward to it. Always wanted to do at least 1 Heaven and Earth design! I am not worried about making it. Have done Huron ,which I ordered from you and also Little Girl with a Rabbit and nothing can be more complicated than those 2! Again, thanks so much for offering such delightful items to work.
