Review on Optimized for Needle Art: Design Works Crafts Edmunds 3028 Regular Stretcher Bars, 28 by 3/4-Inch by Amy Mcleod

3.5 stars I haven't finished this yet but I'm more than halfway done. This is a beautiful design; However, I agree with the previous reviewer that three shades of almost any color is overkill. There are also too many half/quarter stitches that aren't explained in the instructions and aren't readily possible with the included needle (which has a fairly blunt point). Also, some colors/shades don't look quite right. My bright red doesn't seem brighter than medium red. I thought maybe they were swapped but that didn't look right either (13 should be red, 14 red and 15 dark red). Also, the peach wasn't a peach, it was an orange. Luckily I have plenty of peachy thread from previous kits (in the picture I've placed the included 19 "peach" threads next to the ones I actually use).
