Dear Stitcher,
Welcome to the 1995 edition of the Keepsake® Calendar! We hope you'll enjoy stitching every delightful design and that the calendar itself will warm your home and your heart every month of the new year.
Below you will find a list of clarifications. Unfortunately, this year’s calendar went to press without receiving our final stamp of approval. To make sure your cross-stitched works of art are fun to stitch and turn out picture perfect, we have listed all corrections below. Should you have any further questions, please contact us at the above address.
Thank you for purchasing the 1995 Keepsake Calendar. We hope the beautiful designs inspire you to start stitching right away!
JANUARY
On the key; The symbol for light gray-green should be a laige black dot; the symbols for the half-cross-stitches should be in white, not tinted, squares.
On the chart; In the greenery at the right, the small dot shown in two green squares should be stitched in white. For the woman’s hair, the small dot shown in white squares should be stitched in mixed light tan.
MARCH
On the key; The burgundy is not used in the stitched piece. The symbol for light green should be an X, not a small dot; the symbol for medium warm gray should be a +, not a large black dot; the backstitch identified as “color” is medium plum.
On the chart; Around the base of the panda, the circle symbol shown in pale gray squares should be stitched in medium warm gray.
