Beautiful, I'm still working on it. There is more there than I thought. I just loved the picture and had to make it. Now I work on it inbetween other things I'm working on.

I think if I can ever get started on this it will be very pretty. The yarns come all jumbled together and it took me 2 hours to sort them out and tie them down, then I read on the instructions the the yarn must be washed (all separately) rinsed and dried before they are used because the colors will bleed if anything is ever spilled on them. Needless to say this project is now on the back burner for when I muster up some patience.

I bought a different Janlynn kit years ago, and was very pleased to see they are still making them, because the quality is excellent. This one arrived promptly and complete, except that the sorting card only had 16 holes, and the kit has 28 colors of thread. Not a problem, I just made another card. The fabric is unbleached cream, a rough cotton, that makes a great backdrop for the satin thread. I like a more polished needle than the one supplied, but that is personal taste. The directions are clear and complete. This is no weekend project -- I've been doing needlework for 45 years, and I expect this will take me 3-6 months to finish, but it will be heirloom quality.

Nice. Easy to follow instructions

Instructions for putting the pillow together could be more clear, but otherwise this seems great. I have only done a little bit of the embroidery and i like it so far. Its my first ever experience with embroidery and its enjoyable and not too tough.
