I usually do not stitch many kits. I usually prefer to pick my own fabric, but when I saw this kit come ub by Riolis, I loved the ornaments done in back stitch with a little cros stitch on 14 Ct. Black Aida. So I decided to stitch it as a show model. I loved the results. The kit was coded for DMC and gave plenty of floss. I framed in an ornate gold. I willb e stitching more kits by Riolis - I loved the results.
