Review on ๐ŸŒธ Dimensions 35119 Gold Collection: Victorian Woman in Her Garden Cross Stitch Kit, 18 Count Ivory Aida, 16'' x 11'' - Complete Your Collection! by Gelin Battle

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Gorgeous, just two adjustments I would frame

Nice design. I started this many years ago (2011) and finally finished it in 2021, although I've done about 70% of it within the last year. The chart is easy to understand and in addition to the regular chart (which spans about four 8x11 sheets) there is a one-page chart that shows the entire pattern at once. This was very useful for the parts of a regular table that were wrinkled or torn over time. The threads were provided in large quantities, especially in the most popular colors. So don't skimp and save every tiny piece for fear of leaking. I have two complaints: 1) that the diagram only has standard crosses and half stitches - there are no quarter stitches, so when you end up drawing the edges of some squares are visible. 2) The diagram charts for the French knot are terrible. Just search the internet to make it easier. I've included a photo to show an example of white squares appearing behind the outline of a woman's shirt.

Pros
  • and hang the finished garden craft for an elegant wall art.
Cons
  • not reliable
