There are small eyelet stitches scattered throughout the design. One stitcher substituted Mill Hill beads (#02012) She changed the oatmeal floss to a shade of gold. I followed her suggestion and stitched mine the same way.

As an alternate suggestion for finishing this beautiful piece, Leslie Ann Hale stitched it and had it finished as a pillow. STUNNING!!

Pam Brazell is the finisher She used and the shop is 3 Stitches in Spring, TX. 281-320-0133.
