#177 "Cherry Blossom Cottage" Sampler
 
Cherry Blossoms - Spring's Begun!   Welcome to our newest little cottage by the sea! This adorable little pink cottage retreat is the perfect place to enjoy Spring in all its glory! Surrounded by a bountiful garden full of daffodils, primroses and tulips, and climbing white clematis flowers covering the wall. The Weeping Willow turns pale green with new buds and the little Cherry Tree drops its blossoms as you sit on the front porch watching the grass grow. All you have to do is weed your little garden, as the whitecaps dance on the blue ocean.. ahh Bliss! The linen used is “Ice Blue” Cashel but you can use a light blue linen of your choice. Your LNS will have several available, so enjoy choosing your own favorite linen to bring this project to life! This is a perfect design to hang in your home or cottage to help you dream of Springtime by the sea! - Thea

Sorting The Threads in your Accessory Pack: Remember to sort in daylight near a window, not under artificial light indoors, as the colours change with the colour of the lightbulbs we use. Each floss has a different number of strands in each thread length. This helps you differentiate the different colours in your pack. Needlepoint Inc. silk floss has 8 strands per length The Kreinik Mori has 6 strands per length The Gloriana Overdyed Silk has 12 thin strands per length. Dinky Dyes has 6 strands per length. FYI: We noticed that some colours have been divided into two lengths. This can happen if a colour requires 1.5 yards. Our kitmaker might include one 1 yard length and one 0.5 yard length, so don't get confused if one colour has more than one length of thread. We hope this extra information will help you sort your threads more easily!
