Description
Cardinal Kin by Plum Street Samplers.
Paulette tells us “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 (Cardinal Kin) or the more Victorian-colored palette (Cardinal Kin II). So I’ve included both in the same chart! ”
