Great pattern, easy to use.
Great! Would buy another one!
Finished this for a gift, they loved it!
PDF Instructions were easy to understand paired with the online YouTube instructional video made this pattern easy for me to follow. I had never embroidered until now. I purchased Stella’s Snowflake Joy pattern first and made 3 of those before making the Cardinal pattern. Would recommend Stella’s patterns to anyone wanting to complete a successful project. I will be purchasing more of Stella’s patterns in the future.

Such a beautiful pattern! The YouTube tutorial was extremely helpful. I chose this for my first embroidery project and made one of these cute pillows for a loved one. I enjoyed the process so much that I’m now working on one for myself. Thank you for sharing such a truly sweet design!
Easy to follow instructions and useful YouTube video links. Having only done cross stitch before I enjoyed doing something new
I was an absolute novice at embroidery , but the whole package of instructions made it so easy to follow . The additional YouTube videos made it feel like I was having a private tutorial .I loved this project and will definitely be buying another pattern from this seller .
Lovely pattern, great instructions with some tutorials. Small enough project to make several throughout the year to give as gifts. 🎁

This was such a lovely and easy pattern to follow. Great YT tutorial to follow as well. Made the Red Cardinal and will definitely be ordering more.
Barbara, thank you so much for your feedback and for sharing the picture of your finished ornament, it looks great 😊
I loved doing this project.
The instructions are precise and easy to follow, and there is a lot of supporting material on both YouTube and Instagram.
Now I know how to do the colonial knot (I didn't know it was different from the French stitch) and also how to use the short and long.
Thank you!
