Reader's Choice Stitchalong!

Well, guys, the big day is here! After numerous reader suggestions, we winnowed it down to a top 5, and you chose the pattern you most wanted to stitch (and the winning suggestion won an awesome prize, let's not forget).

She also included a color guide if you need a bit of help deciphering those gorgeous scrolly lines:
