I am currently stitching this piece so i can say first hand what a joy it is to stitch. The colors are almost magical and the entire piece looks much more magnificent in person than in any photographs we see online. Its not a difficult piece as long as you read the instructions a few times beforehand. It is definitely worth every stitch and dollar you put in to it. I would be more than happy to answer any questions or concerns you might have about it. Just let me know! Cheers!!
