I love this conversion that I saw for the Mary Wigham sampler so much that I just had to share it on my blog. This conversion was done by Katrina who prefers softer colors in her samplers, so she converted it to more muted tones using cotton over-dyed cottons (GAST, WDW, and CC).
Here is a photo of her floss toss followed by her substitutions:
| DMC | Substitution | |
| Blanc | GAST Shaker White | |
| Ecru | GAST Lambswool | |
| 225 | CC Rosy Glow | |
| 310 | WDW Charcoal | |
| 352 | CC Dulce de Leche | |
| 356 | WDW Red Pear | |
| 407 | GAST Woodrose | |
| 433 | WDW Chestnut | |
| 435 | WDW Pecan | |
| 519 | CC Deep Fennel | |
| 725 | GAST Gold Leaf | |
| 739 | GAST Flax | |
| 746 | GAST Straw Bonnet | |
| 927 | WDW Dove | |
| 930 | WDW Gunmetal | |
| 934 | WDW Collards | |
| 966 | GAST Grape Leaf | |
| 3052 | CC Joshua Tree | |
| 3768 | CC Dublin Bay | |
| 3822 | WDW Honeysuckle | |
| 3855 | WDW Straw | |
| 3857 | WDW Baked Apple |
That’s it for now. Until next time …

Love these colors. Ive been thinking of doing MW in HDF silks. May use this color pallet to find the “right” colors
