Hello,

The supplies for this design are listed right under the picture/description of the product. I just added those my cart to get the total amount of flosses (instead of counting) and there's 38 skeins of floss that go along with this design. Hope this helps!

I hope that you are an experienced stitcher and a patient person. I am working on a Silver Lining pattern and it is a nightmare. Frequent color changes and the colors are almost indistinguishable. Beautiful pattern.

Texas Stitcher,
I too am working on Dream Maker.. Started on 18 ct, wanted something a little smaller (I thought) no patience, started over on 14 ct.. much better, but don't know how long to will take to finish..
Question - are you back stitching as you finish each page... seems that it would be easier??

dbye, I usually wait until I'm finished before I begin backstitching but I will be backstitching each section on this rose. It's a Silver Lining pattern and they are something else. DD talked me into buying it many years ago. I had no idea. Mine is six pages and will take forever. I thought I'd never say or do this but it might become a WIP if not a UFO once I receive the Enchanted Alphabet pattern. Be strong - you can do it! Tomorrow is the last day of school so my summer will be spent entertaining an energetic and precocious 7 year old. The other grandparent help out but on the days that I am "off" I have a ton of housework and errands to catch up on.
I've looked at your iris pattern more than once, as well as the pansies, because I love the colors but I just don't think that Silver Lining patterns are for me. :(
