Just Nan conversion
Furrygreen had asked about color conversion, so I thought I'd share the one I did of Just Nan's Among the Roses. (link to her page with pic)
I was a bit challenged by what I had on hand to choose from, but I hadn't wanted to spend money on floss just then. I knew I didn't want pink, and I didn't want a stupid charm in the center. (I just filled the center with stitching). Anyhow, I also added a lot more beads than the pattern called for, because well, I like beads :) I just used a gold Kreinik I had on hand, and didn't worry about it being the "right one". Stitched on 28ct evenweave, instead of linen.
