Provence Sampler, Butternut Road

An elegant French alphabet and borders done in one color of variegated Caron Collection Watercolours thread. This creates a very old and treasured look of antiquity that is a favorite for all stitchers. We chose "Flame" which is various shades of red, but any color could be substituted to match their decor...
