Hi there.

This pattern had been stitched on 28 queen Ann's lace the count is 149 X 262 if you want to do it on 28 you will need the fabric, the floss which are DMC + Anchor combine if you choose youwill do it on the 28 you will need the material, the floss, the needle and the mesurement of the material is 5.32 X 9.35 inches plus 4 inches for the border. But if you choose to do it on 14 you will get 10.64 X 18.71 plus 4 inches for all around extra for the frame. Have fun.

This pattern uses 42 different colors of DMC floss and 19 different colors of Anchor floss. If you contact Kristi here at ECS Customer Service she will list the colors that you need for this project on the order page. It is a very pretty pattern.

When you purchase your fabric for this project don't forget to add 6 inches to the width and 6 inches to the length of the finished size of your project no matter what type of fabric you use. This is for framing.

Hello,

I have added the supplies and pattern information for this design to our website. You should see everything listed there now. Please note that this design uses both Anchor and DMC floss and they are both listed in the supply list. Thank you :)

That is a lot of floss. Wonder why the designer chose to mix the DMC with the Anchor. That seems a little strange.

Yes, it does. It could be a very old pattern and the colors the designer wanted weren't available in DMC???? Who knows. I prefer to stick with one brand. Less confusion and waste. I have tons of overdyed remnants, well some are almost full skeins, yet when I start a new project the colors that I have never come up.
