Update 1/23: Kits for the Stacy Nash Summer Pomegranate Needlebook and Pinkeep (what I am calling the Sparkling Sewing Set) are completely sold out and will not be restocked.
Thank you for your support - 20% of sales were donated to the Salvation Army for California wildfire relief on January 23.

I chose Watermelon Pink in the 1/2" width but also showed Fuschia Magenta Pink and Deep Red
Shakespeare's Peddler Pennsylvania Christmas Deer is stitched on Legacy Linen 37 count Indian Paintbrush with Soie Gobelins Brut (reused from our Special Silky Symposium start if you have that set of threads - there's plenty for both projects on the one spool)
