A joy to work and very pleased with end result
I just finish my project so much fun love everything I have purchased
It was a lovely pattern and easy to adapt as well. Lovely slow stitch embroidery.
Love the pattern. Was very easy to download and I am now ready to start my new project. Thank you.
Everything you need to stitch this, all beautifully packed. I love the thread holders and shall re-use them after I've stitched the panel. Great instruction leaflet is included. I haven't started it yet but will do soon.
Can't wait to start this panel. I will enjoy stitching this one.
Pollinator party panel is beautiful so very very pleased with it and will be stitching it in my garden as I watch nature. Will definitely be back for more fabric panels. Thank you.
Very pleased with the panel and looking forward to starting it soon. I have several designs now and am very pleased with all of them.
This project is very enjoyable!
This is the first full kit I have purchased and I am very pleased with it. Beautifully packaged with great care, quality threads all set out lovely and delivered in good time. This project is for my holidays and it is so easy to take as everything has been taken care of. I will most certainly be a returning customer. Thank you so much.
I havent started this piece yet but love the design.
These hoops are by far the best, they keep your fabric taut I won’t buy any other make..
Absolutely love this. Fabric good, print amazing. I have purchased lots of embroidery prints on fabric and transfers but the ones I have bought from StitchDoodles are the best. Once I’ve finished the Polinator Party I will be buying another print from them.
Good kit
Pollinator Party is a beautiful embroidery pattern. It is filled with a variety of lovely little birds and butterflies and they are surrounded by beautiful flowers. The pattern is very detailed with how to stitch a section at a time. It includes all of the embroidery cotton needed as well as explaining all of the stitches used. Also included is the pattern of the full embroidery to be copied and this could also be used as a colouring-in if anybody wanted to change colours of the flowers and birds. It really is a beautiful pattern and I will definitely be waiting for more of these patterns in the future.
