Be Kind and True by Blackbird Designs. 

The suggested fabric is 35ct Marva’s Blend by R & R Reproductions. NOTE: I used 28ct rose Monaco.

Recommended Floss

  • DMC 838
  • GAST Dried Thyme (DMC 937)
  • GAST Strawbonnet (DMC 3865)
  • WDW Caper (DMC 3021) – DMC 3021 almost identical to WDW Caper.
  • GAST Antique Rose (DMC 223) – Antique Rose is more of a rose color than DMC 223 which seems more mauve colored to me.
  • WDW Crimson (DMC 3802)  – The DMC floss is a slight bit lighter in color but hardly noticeable.
  • GAST Woodrose (DMC 950 & 3064)
  • WDW Cherub (DMC 3774) – very good match
  • GAST Chamomile (DMC 372)
  • GAST Briar Rose (DMC 3726)
  • WDW Teal Frost (DMC 807) – The DMC is lighter and brighter than Teal Frost.
