Reviews From Customers Who Purchased This Item
from United States on 11/29/2015 - Beautiful Pattern This is a beautiful pattern. I'm only giving it 4 stars, because it would have been nicer not to have to tape the four pieces of pattern together myself... typical printer paper 8.5 x 11 was used versus one large sheet of high quality paper. Note some of the recommended floss is labeled as "not colorfast," so I opted for a combination of the Weeks which is colorfast and DMC. Also, I'm going to change the 2nd line to read "Then richer than kings and happier than they" and space out the words "than kings"... as it is, I misread those words as "thankings" at first, which made no sense.
