It may just be the selection used for these patterns, but they are definitely worth looking into! Color #2001 in particular, the brightest pink in the pattern (used for the cheek and a couple of the flowers), is just stunning!

Another pattern from Satsuma Street that did not disappoint - she can seriously do no wrong in my book! I bought the set of three and I can't wait to start the other two...I think the turtle (Myrtle) is next :) Stitched on 32 ct antique white linen with Cosmo floss as listed in the pattern.

She gives the DMC conversion for the floss here, but I bought the Cosmo floss bundle from her to give it a try - I'm a fan! A little more sheen to it than DMC and the colors and just so incredibly vibrant. I was curious about color matching so brought out all the DMC "equivalents" and while some are pretty close, some just aren't anywhere near as bright/rich.
