This is a serious CHART! This sampler is gorgeous, and it is a work of art when finished. The chart calls for Belle Soie silks, but a DMC conversion is provided. The chart is many, many pages, and it is recommended for intermediate-level stitchers (but an ambitious beginner can conquer the world!) This sampler doesn't have to say "Cincinnati" on it -- I think it would be cool to include a family name.
