Gosh, she's not afraid of a challenge, is she !
to her for being so brave and for making such a great start.

[Serinde]

Crikey! That'll be a fabulous first design. And she has made such a good start. All those stitches in one single hour... needle must have been smokin'!

[Pengwenn]

I had to start with little projects so I could feel that sense of accomplishment when I finished something. But I think as she watches this come together she'll be hooked. There's just something about seeing a blob of colors transform into something beautiful.

What a wonderful start! I hope she will enjoy it! We have to think about the next generation!
Looking forward to meeting her personally.

Am really looking forward to her next update now.

I think a sofa is needed here, dont u ladies????

Although I always encourage people to do something small as their first project if they set their heart on a particular design it is more likely to be completed because are determined to have the finished product.

I am very impressed with the start that she has made and it looks very neat. Looking forward to updates and wish her well in her new hobby.

This is a beautiful kit. Your sister is going to love the finished piece. She has a great mentor in her corner so she is on her way. Hope the two of you have many happy hours of stitching.
