This canvas is a line drawn design from Danji Designs and it came with a stitch guide. I've had it in stash for at least 5 years. Recently I decided to give it a try. It is a nice size to work on and not too demanding. (Famous last words!)
Of course, I have to change all the colors to my usual aquas and coppers. Which creates the very challenge I was trying to avoid! I may also change some of the stitches. Sigh.....
Here's my progress so far:

I'd question who you really were if you didn't change the colors and tweak the design a bit. I look forward to seeing your progress. It's a very nice design, and I didn't realize Danji had some charted needlepoint. Maybe they don't anymore. I'll have to investigate.
Sara Leigh, it isn't a charted design. The outlines were drawn on the canvas and there's a stitch guide. The guide is awful. There's no date on it anywhere so I don't know how old it is, but the diagrams are all hand drawn, poorly. The challenge is to figure out what the designer wanted!
It's a beautiful design, and I'm looking forward to seeing it stitched in "your" colors, which I also like a lot. it's already very pretty. A question: what is the fabric you're stitching on? Is that canvas, or something else? Color? Thanks.
Thanks Robin. It is 18-count canvas. I think the color is called Sandstone. It's a little darker than Eggshell.
