"The DIY book is fantastic, especially for beginners. I’m fairly new to cross stitching so this has been a really great resource in sizing my characters."

"I've been stitching on and off for 15 years and nothing has gotten me more enthusiastic about cross stitching than the DIY book. Not only does it have a lot of unique ideas for portraits, it's an excellent source for stitching in general."

"I'm an experienced cross stitcher and I still find the DIY book extremely helpful. I've already made a few family portraits as gifts and the book is easy to navigate, the patterns are easy to customize, and the spiral binding makes it easy to hold in your lap."

"I love cross-stitch, but never designed my own. The DIY book took me out of my comfort zone and showed me I could do it! The instructions are clear and easy to understand and you’ll be so happy with the results!"

"The DIY book is absolutely incredible. The instructions are so clear and so thorough that you could make a portrait even if you’ve never picked up a needle before. The design of the book makes it easy to sort through and keep track of all your pattern choices, and the patterns themselves look great."

"I have been cross stitching for a few years now and have been doing portraits since the beginning. They make such wonderful gifts."
