Peacock Silks Conversion from DMC
for Teresa Wentzler Design Peacock Tapestry

Tien has developed the following conversion list for the Teresa Wentzler Design Peacock Tapestry and has asked me to archive it on my website to share it with other stitchers who may have an interest in stitching this design with the silks. (I have edited the list simply for clarity on the webpage and added in some places the text name for a symbol in case the symbol shows up different on different browsers)

In Tien's own words:

Okay, here are the results of the latest (and hopefully last) trip to the LNS. In this trip, I not only matched each individual color, but actually sat down and matched each blend as well--having discovered that two good individual matches can make a horrible blend! (It's okay if one color is a bit too grey/blue/yellow/whatever, but if both are off in the same direction the blend looks really wrong!). So, here they are...I have listed them as best I could considering that the symbols do not display--if you are having trouble ID'ing them then check the DMC colors. Note that in a few places I am using *two* silk colors for a single DMC, depending on which blend it's in.

Tien has requested that all questions regarding this conversion list be directed to her through the Teresa Wentzler Bulletin Board at http://www.twdesignworks.com/cgi-bin/bb/Ultimate.cgi under the Peacock Tapestry forum so that she doesn't have to post her email address here (which will assist her in cutting down on unsolicited emails).
