Floss Color Disclaimer

As discussed in Do-It-Yourself Stitch People, every family portrait is entirely unique and so making floss color suggestions won't apply to every situation. I encourage you to utilize your own creativity and enjoy the process of color matching to make selections appropriate to the families, memories, and scenes you choose to build with these patterns! You can do it!

Richard M. ★★★★★

Flipping through the pages, I love how each background pattern actually fits around the stitch people figures without awkward gaps. The book made it easy to add a cozy living room scene to my family portrait, and the variety keeps me coming back.

Jason H. ★★★★★

The 54 pages are packed with so many scenery options that I finally stopped stressing over empty backgrounds in my cross-stitch pieces. I love how the patterns layer together easily, letting me build everything from a cozy porch to a full city skyline without any guesswork.

Scarlett ★★★★★

I was hesitant about how to fill the backgrounds around my family portraits, but this book’s scenery patterns made my cross-stitch pop with personality. The way each setting is broken down into simple stitch-by-stitch steps meant I could finish a vibrant garden scene in just one weekend.
