CARDINAL KIN (and Cardinal Kin II)
**Kit comes with 36 ct linen, threads, backing fabric, trim and a charm. Kit is only available in the traditional (lighter) colorway.
A note from Paulett:
Aren't cardinals just the sweetest little songbirds? They are beautiful no matter the season, and the females are my very favorites. Even as a child, I remember thinking their soft brown feathers were the most beautiful color. When I designed this, I couldn't decide if I preferred the brighter, more traditional colors or the more Victorian-colored palette. So I've included both in the same chart!
