If U Google to find a chart to convert the wildflowers from what you have as Carron collection in floss to another let say to DMC or verse versa U will end up with one. Just Google that

No, not really. Just do one whole stitch at a time.

It's beautiful when finished. However, if you don't like it then don't do it. It's a lot of work for something you are not 100% satisfied with.

I love the design but the picture is so small I have a hard time seeing colors. Also my name is Rose! Thanks for your input. I think I may take on the challenge but need to do more investigating.

so when you use variegated floss are you supposed to do one stitch at a time? I've only used it one before but will be starting a project soon that have silk variegated floss. It was not cheap so I want to be sure to do it correctly.

When using Wildflowers by Caron floss do use only one strand of thread or do you double it like DMC floss for the Rose Sampler.

Rose, Wildflowers is a Pearl Cotton between size #8 & #12, so you only use one strand. Do finish each stitch before goingon (English style cross stitch)

Ordered this myself. These make lovely toss pillows & it may be the simplest design Marilyn Leavitt-Inblum ever did. Thought she only did well-dressed females. I have a lot to learn yet.
