I too have a complete set and was very disappointed when they were discontinued. They were a bit tricky to get the hang of at first, but they worked up beautifully.

I still display a Sudbury box with a design stitched in the flower thread. I've also done a matching pillowtop, but never got around to actually making it into a pillow.
