A really fun design, done by my American Needlepoint guild chapter a few years ago. Excellent instructions with clear diagrams.

I live in Australia and have ordered several patterns from DebBees. They have always arrived quickly and the instructions are so easy to follow. Love these patterns

I loved doing Hot Stuff. I did change the colours to green and blue. The stitches are explained so well. Thanks for a great pattern.
