I want to start off by saying, I love this pattern/kit. I love the blue Aida cloth and the colors that are in the garden. This is my second kit I have ever worked on and I feel the challenge of the bigger project, but not overwhelmed by it. I was surprised when I opened the kit to find beads to add to it as the finishing touch, so I am a little nervous about that, but the instructions are pretty clear and easy to follow so I am not going to worry too much on it. I would recommend this to anyone looking for a challenge who is new-ish to cross stitching.
