are stitched on 40-count Wood Smoke hand-dyed fabric from Lakeside

need a 15” H

Floss
estimation is for stitching all four pieces as directed on 40-count linen.
DMC equivalents are only approximate, as there are no exact equivalents
for hand over-dyed fibers.
NOTE: To stitch the sampler only, you will need one skein of each floss color.
Package
contains charts for each of the four pieces, stitching instructions, complete
finishing instructions for the needlework smalls, and a worksheet area and
alphabet for personalization.
I
encourage you to use floss and fabric colors that match your personality and
style.
