I purchased this to stitch for a Christmas gift for a friend. I was hesitant about the teal color, but it fits with her decor. It was a joy to stitch and by using darker tones, it turned out better than I expected.
Such a sweet sampler—love the wind/clouds, and falling blossoms. I did find I needed good light to see the pattern against the pale cloth!
