Hello,

This design is 100 x 100 stitches and is stitched on a 40ct. fabric of the stitcher's choice. That would mean the stitched area size will 5.0 x 5.0. This pattern uses DMC floss and 3 mm Swarovski Bicones and Miyuki Delica beads and I am sorry but we do not sell the beads that are required for this design. I hope this information helps. Thank you!

Thank you!

I'm doing December on 32 count. They all have lots of beads. I went to an onlinne site called Artbeads.

Thank you, jlhewes! Are you happy with how it looks? I'm still deciding if I want to buy it. Thanks.

Just starting it. Didn't like the charting at all. Had to email the designer to explain. She answered right away, sending better charts that answered my questions. "DECEMBER" is mostly embroidery stitches other than cross stitch.

Changed fabric & floss, so have had problems matching beads. Stick with her colors, although the beads will probably work on a 36 ct or 32 ct fabric.

Thank you, jlhewes. That was very helpful! :-)

It looks beautiful. When I read Swarovski beads I immediately wanted to order it. I thought of August, December and January. Those are the months that my kids were born in, however, when I read 40 ct fabric ............................! There is no way that I could stitch on 40 ct unless I could turn back the hands of time.

jl what type of fabric are you using?

December will be on Wichelt Dm Cobblestone 32 ct from ECS. Floss: Anchor 1039, a not too bright med turquoise. Bicones: Swarovski 3mm light turquoise. Having trouble finding delica-style seed beads I like. Will be a lavender scented sachet pillow. ?? Don't have a room in these colors. Sigh!! ??

But you could get one! New bedding and a couple of gallons of paint! LOL I fell in love once with a pair of red shoes and had to build a wardrobe around them - well, a dress and a handbag. Ah, to be young again.

It sounds beautiful, I like the sachet pillow idea. Lavender is such a calming, pleasant scent. You'll be sleeping like a baby with it next to you!

32 ct doesn't sound so bad, the best I can do these days without too many aids is 28 ct. I wonder if the beads would look too small on it. I have to do research. So many projects and so little time. One can always dream.
