Introducing Flowers of Italy UPDATED

The American Needlepoint Guild's Stitch of the Month program, featuring Ro Pace's Flowers of Italy, has started.  January's information shows the layout and explains the types of threads you will need.  Many thanks to Yenulka for pointing out that the first installment was on the ANG website.

It looks likely to me that Ro's piece is named after one of the threads she used--Gloriana Silk's Flowers of Italy #194 which can be glimpsed here.

UPDATE:  Scarlet Thread has posted photos of the threads for the original colors Ro used and they will be doing thread kits in other colors as well.  I must say I'm tempted by Sara Leigh's colors she used in her Stars.  They are very very pretty!
