this be the one? I think there's another one, but I couldn't turn it up quickly. Or were you thinking about something totally different?
Best wishes, Ericka
Have seen this piece finished and framed in the designer's home. I think that this version was from a library in France, if I remeber correctly. I think that you can still get this pattern, but I am not sure if the other designes from the book have been done. Has been a few years since I have seen this lady.
Hi Mirjam: the name of the book is: Belles Heures du Jean, Duc du Berry. In English: Book of Hours of Jean, Duke Of Berry. Marie and the cats
You can also look under Tres Riches Heures du Duc du Berry. Marie and the cats

I remember when Jennifer did that piece. Is she still around RCTN?

I have Jennifer's piece--pages and pages of direction. It was a fabulous time. I did it one over one so very intricate and really enjoyed it. I also had to purchase a lot of dmc in order to get the shading colorways. I believe a whole bag of dmc colors! Very fun ! barbara
