JUNE!!!! Yours are GORGEOUS!!! And you are correct: I have had this book for a few years now (or whenever it was released) and didn’t even notice these until you highlighted them. Why in the world didn’t use a print such as the one you sent for demo? Now I need to try this pattern out . . . .

That’s too bad that they did a remake of yours … I personally like yours much much better! The fabric you used is perfect for the size of the project and your stitching looks cleaner. I think you did a great job!!

Your version is definitely cuter!

The larger patterned fabric was definitely the wrong scale for the projects.

Ah, what a bummer! I actually have a problem with a lot of their styling and poor fabric choices in this book. Fabulous book with amazing patterns, but you’re not the first designer who had their projects shortchanged. It’s okay, we all know yours is the best and your workmanship is impeccable! Much, much smarter to use the tiny print, too.

Yes, your versions are much cuter and the fabric’s print is a better scale for the size of the projects.

Darn straight, you versions are cute! I’m so sorry about the disappointing inclusion. I know you’re a stickler for perfection. Why couldn’t they have planned ahead so you could have made the ones in the photos? It might not have been the fabric you would have chosen, but at least it would have had your awesome juju. xo!!!

I LOVE the fabric. The little mushrooms and hedgehogs are so cute!

Your design and careful use of the adorable fabric is FAR superior to theirs . . . I’m so sorry you were disappointed. I’ll bet your 99% right ones are very cute, too!
