Perfect timing seeing this. I just finished the Masterpieces Starry Night (Vincent Van Gogh)from their linen series - and I absolutely loved it. Great fit, matte/linen finish, great print quality. It also gave me a greater appreciation for the actual artwork (I have seen it often over the years, but never really looked at it). This might actually be the first puzzle I glue and save.

Stunning. I would leave that up and stare at it for days as well! If there’s not a random dog, there’s a random hot air balloon! 😂

That's definitely a beautiful puzzle, Mandy. interestingly the northeast side of the map where you said the colours change, reminded me of the Pete's Gambling hall, wonder if there is a direct connection between the region and the colour scheme. didn't know apples were seasonal, (we get fruits from overseas a lot here hence the observation). Thx for sharing. loved the puzzle.

Fall is apples harvest season, especially in my area where I’m surrounding by apple farms. It’s always so beautiful. I wouldn’t be surprised if Pete Gambling hall image was based in the northeast.

Thats really awesome, BTW I just planted apples for the first time, have 8 seedlings here haha wish me luck! I suppose we'll never know what Pete was based on :-) nice to hear from you and seeing your new video. Thx Mandy. @@thepuzzledmandy

What a beautiful puzzle!! I tried a shaped USA map before but the pieces were like the size of a dime. And not the greatest image. This one is really nice! I like all the buildings it features as well. I'm also a fan of Master Pieces. The put together a quality puzzle!

This one was super fun, and I don't think I've seen another US shaped puzzle with such a fantastic image. Hope you can find this one if you decide to try it out 👌

Not done much by Master Pieces so can't really comment on their quality. I have done a few shaped puzzles by Bits & Pieces and a couple more in the queue. Jigsaws can be variable as to whether you can pick them up or not. Your puzzle was lovely and the colours were good. Best way to do a shaped puzzle is start in the middle and work out. Look forward to your next video.

Masterpieces is not one of the best, but their images make up of some of the quality issues in my opinion. I’ve yet to try a Bits and Pieces set even though I think I have a few at this point lol. I’ll probably be trying that out very soon.

Beautiful puzzle. I really enjoy masterpieces 300 and 500 pieces a lot. When it gets higher I tend to run away because they are so tiny in size. It’s me again tiny pieces nothing personal with brand. I enjoyed this video. I hope you feel better soon.
@thepuzzledmandy10 ай бұрын
Thank you! I've improved a lot in the last few days and started back at work again. Still waiting for the hubby to get better though. I have one 500 count Masterpiece set that I haven't tried yet. Now I want to see how the piece size compares to the 1k sets.

I'm doing my first MasterPieces, a 750 Farmer's Market series -Market Day Afternoon. As good as any Buffalo, however the design and the artwork on the box is especially nice. Thanks for the video!

I have only done one Master Pieces puzzle, but it was one of my favorites because it was such a stunning image. The fit wasn't great but wasn't terrible either. Even though I don't glue my puzzles, I always clip them to a piece of foam core and rest them on some furniture so I can admire them for a few months. I can't bear to take them apart so quickly!

I don’t blame you! I’d do the same thing if I had somewhere to let it sit for a long while. It hurts to take them apart 🥲
