Chelsea U., Birmingham, Alabama 18-count natural colored aida
“This is a project of firsts for me: first Scarlet Quince (but won't be my last!), first time used blended colors, first time using 18-ct., first time trying multiple needles or parking thread, first time using more than 5 colors, first black and white pattern, first black-and-white finished piece, etc. But I'm enjoying every stitch! I get frustrated with all the subtle shades of black and gray, but when I finish a section and I stand back and look at the over-all picture, it's simply fantastic. You guys did a great job with this pattern, I am highly impressed.
What you see is 4 and a half pages of pattern (large print) and a solid three months of steady stitching. The dark stripe in the middle of the mirror is simply dirty thread (I kept the white thread on the pattern page where I was coloring in pencil each stitch I had completed, and apparently, that piece of thread got graphite on it. It'll wash.)”

December 1, 2010 “I haven't picked up this beauty in over a year, but I plan to make her my focus starting January. As I was getting all her pieces together, I thought I'd send you an update. I still love her as much as the day I purchased her pattern and I can't wait to get back to stitching her!”
