I remember seeing this on a blog post and then hunting for quite a while until I found the chart on the secondary market. It was charted for DMC only. Since I wanted to stitch this in silk, like with so many things I work on, I converted them to my favorite silks...my conversion from the charted DMC to Belle Soie (Classic Colorworks Silk) and HDF Silk

You know that what I usually am drawn to first in a sampler is the border and this one has a great grape/vine border with strawberries - such a super border and all those ducks!!! It was a great piece to stitch from start to finish!!
