Fixes
I've received a few messages that the chartpak is missing the color key. It should be on the reverse side of the first page with general information about the sampler. If not, please download this PDF file: Christy Barron-instructions & color key

This faithful reproduction falls into the “what’s-not-to-love” category! A charming and inspirational verse, fabulous colors, lots of baskets, flowers, birds, and more. I’ve stitched the model with pretty cottons from Weeks Dye Works; suggested DMC alternates are noted in the chartpak if you prefer that or want to convert to your favorite silk threads.
If you love these motifs, but not the size - consider some smalls found in A Shepherd's Care I and A Shepherd's Care II.
