Since I like the Welcome series by The Drawn Thread, I just had to stitch their Welcome Autumn. I loved the colors on the 30 Ct. Antique Lambswool Linen and did use the recommended silk floss, however I used 2 ply of all floss colors for cross stitches, rather than the one ply that the designer recommended. The frame is a brown with gold edges and matches the brown that was used in the design. Again nothing hard and took no time to stitch.
