I first saw this chart featured on the Dyeing to Stich Facebook page and went searching for it. Turns out it was posted on DMC Threads Blog as a Back to School Freebie. The last post to this blog is dated 2015 so I am not sure it is being kept up. The chart is apparently no longer available. If I am able to locate it again, I will post a link. Glad I saved it the first time around.
The picture shown above is from the DMC Threads post and shows the chart stitched with DMC Variations. Others have stitched this chart in shades of pink to rose.
Dyeing to Stitch offers a pale pink linen in a variety of counts to stitch this with Classic Colorworks Rosebud thread. If you are a member of the Dyeing to Stitch Facebook group, you can view a photo of the finished piece.
FEBRUARY 2021 I recently saw a couple of folks post this in a Facebook stitching group I belong to and decided to contact DMC to see if the chart was posted anywhere and if I could share it. They graciously sent me the original chart which I am sharing here. There is also a jpg image that may print a slight bit sharper.
In looking through my stash, I already had a piece of 16ct cream aida gridded to the correct size so decided to use it with three shades of Victorian Motto Sampler Shoppe floss, Red Rooster, Old Red Roses, and Fairy Pink.
I finished stitching this one on February 20, 2021. I thought I had a piece of fabric I could use for the back but it is to red rather than a cranberry red so will need to keep looking. I am glad to finally have this one stitched.
And here it is June 2021 and it has been finished and on the way home to me.
