My silk kits for Plum Street Samplers' Chocolate Harts and Stacy Nash's Feathered Nest pinkeep will be released on Tuesday, May 7 at 8:15 am PDT: katie-strachan.com/shop
If you would like to be notified of these and other flosstube kits when they are released, you can sign up for the Ornamentations mailing list on this page (please note it is the second list on this page): katie-strachan.com/mailing-list

Chocolate Harts will include all threads used (8 spools, with one substitution if your kit is labeled restock or preorder) and linen, with a written guide to the conversion.
Please note that you will need to provide the chart for both kits, as it is not included.
Feathered Nest kits will include all threads used, linen, and the finishing extras: crystal bead for the bird's eye, coordinating silk ribbon, and Liberty Tana Lawn for the lining of the pinkeep

A tutorial covering the full finishing of the pinkeep will go up on Tuesday, April 23, before the release of the Feathered Nest kits.
My previous finish of Stacy Nash's I Will Cut You pinkeep, also using magnets in the interior and Liberty Lawn, appeared in episode 51, with a silk conversion. It's also a fabulous finish that would be more cost effective as it only uses two threads: youtu.be/qWk00A0EaXM
