Victoria Sampler Beautiful Finishing 3: Little House Ornaments
My version is stitched on a Mason Linen Sewing Bird Medium Dark 40 count, with a mix of 100/3, Soie Gobelins, and Accentuate - I'll share the conversion next episode once it's finalized.  You could easily use 2 strands of each and stitch the pattern exactly as charted on a lower count.

New Legacy Linens: 40 count Coastal Haze (extremely light gray) and White Thistle (new dyelot of Piccadil)
New kits coming: Flag Thief will release in May, the Britomart Sampler will be coming this summer
