Designed by Erica Michaels
2003 Cross Stitcher's Surprise Series from Rainbow Gallery
Pattern calls for all Rainbow Gallery threads which I did not have, so I completely stitched design with bits from my stash, using Weeks Dye Threads and Caron Waterlillies. For the button I used a leaf glass bead purchased from a local bead store.
