When I was picking out patriotic offering to stitch, I fell in love with this cute pattern from Madam Chantilly. I especially like the watering can which looked in the photo to be stitched in a hand-dyed floss, even though it was charted for DMC . So - I opened by trusty box of Weeks flosses and substituted the red for the watering can using WDW2266 Turkish Red, the stars I used WDW2269 Liberty, and for the blue I used WDW1307 Americana. - I loved the finished result. It looked like the pattern cover. I stitched the model on 32 Ct. Natural Belfast Linen and frame is a brushed edge navY
