🧵 Janlynn Joy in The Journey Counted Cross Stitch Kit - 14 Count, 7-3/4 by 11-1/4-Inch: A Complete Embroidery Set Review

Nice sampler, clear instructions, easy to make. I've made many samplers in my time and this one is a good one!

This is a super cute sampler. It came exactly as pictured with everything included. The thread isn't hard to sort or tell what goes where and it looks like I've had enough, but I'm not done yet.

I really liked this pattern online and it looks really good in the finished project. The only complaint I have is that the thread was of poor quality. It felt thin and wore easily. It wasn't the hefty DMC thread I've used in the past.

Beautiful! The kit includes everything you need to get started. However, I can already say that I'm going to run out of the green thread used for the outer rim - I'm not sure where you can get more or if any of the other threads will run out before I can finish it. Such a crap :(

This is a nice project that goes relatively fast for a sampler. Very few reverse stitches and no half or quarter stitches. No ruffles or French knots. While it's true that you should separate your colors, it doesn't matter. If you like the look of this sampler, don't let that put you off as it's not a difficult decision.

This is a really simple but beautiful set that fits into any rustic interior. That's a lot more than I expected. While the design is simple (all cross-stitching with minimal backstitching), it still allows for plenty of texture and interest (see how the word "blessed" is wavy). The colors in the picture are quite real except that the dark reddish color (hearts etc.) looks more like a very dark burnt orange (which I like better). The kit did not include a strand of floss so I contacted Janlynn…
