Thank you to Nancy Drake, Nancy's Needlework, for sharing her beautiful finish of Christmas Tea on Irish Coffee.  You can find my original conversion here although I strongly recommend switching the linen to Irish Coffee: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2X-3P79Saxs&t=4s

The new Legacy Linen colors shown are 45 count Thai Iced Tea, 38 count Himalayan Fog, and 45 count Hazy Summit.  They're all in stock at the Attic and NIAH will have them in stock shortly if not already.
