Snow Flower Sampler Accent by Periwinkle Promises

This silk kit belongs to the first year linen & silk kit designs. The fabric included is 29ct raw Cashell linen. Kreinik's Soie d'Alger silk was used. Specialty stitches include Holbein stitch (first border), double back stitch, long-armed cross stitch, smyrna, and upright cross stitch. the Holbein stitch can be challenging. I chose to work on this piece because January is still a winter month and I love snow. I was going to finish this when I was in Lake Tahoe this past Christmas. Just my longing for white snow!
