Hello, I did log on to the Heaven and Earth website. The suggested fabric they list is indeed 25 count White linen. I love Santa designs. I completed Marilyn Imblum's "Santa of the Forest". I must tell you when I was on the H&E website and looked at the enlargement of this design, I did find it MOST intriguing. I am blown away by the fact that there are 87 DMC colors used. That just speaks to the intricate details of his face and garments. I do think I might "have" to order this design!!!
(I do not work for ECS....I am a Stitcher in the Chat Room!!)
P.S. I just ordered Portrait of Father Christmas from Everything Cross Stitch. It is about $7.00 cheaper than on the Heaven & Earth website. Heaven help me!!! I will have to live to be 120 to complete everything in my stash!!!!!!
