I was so excited getting this kit! But man was it a slog. I ran out of thead for about 3/4 of the colors and I usually have so much left over when I do a kit. And the pattern felt like so much confetti. I think I expected much more from dmc. You'd think they'd at least put enough in for the entire thing??? But over a year later (with breaks because I was over it) I'm done and can move on!
