Lovely cross stitch I stitched this picture for one of my friends who is really into baking. The kit was great - good quality and easy to follow colour grid pattern. I loved the bright colours and I used a magnetic poster hanger instead of a frame and it looked great! So happy with this one. Can't wait to get my next Caterpillar cross stitch started!

Happiness is Homemade I'm half way through this one and loving it as much as previous cross stitch kits bought from you. Such beautiful, vibrant colours.

Happiness is Hone Made Love the design of this kit. As an experienced stitcher who is having trouble with eyesight I bought 14cnt kit. I am finding the chart difficult to read due to its small scale. The symbols in the coloured squares (particularly black on the darker colours) is difficult to decipher which is slowing down my stitching. The large blocks of same colour does help.

My First Big Cross Stitch Project My best friends bought me a tiny cross stitch kit for my birthday and I got hooked as soon as I tried it and so I instantly started looking for a challenge and came across this pattern. I am a baker so I fell in love with this kit as soon as I saw it and found the delivery didn't keep me waiting long to start my new project. The colours are great and the quality of the materials are fab so it's 100% worth the money, especially once framed and hung in my kitchen. The pattern is easy to follow and complete, but in no way boring as there are so many parts to the pattern to keep you busy. I am in love with all the patterns on the website and whilst this is my first, it definitely won't be my last! :bug:

Newbie stitcher Would highly recommend Caterpillar Crosstitch to anyone, service is first class even during the dreadful pandemic. Great backup help on Facebook page, website fantastic and easy to navigate. Love this kit, colours are so vibrant. Bought as I bake lots of cakes with the grandkids and I make all the celebration cakes for the family. Looking forward to seeing it finished. Definitely five star :star2:
