Nora Corbett's Lyrical from Wichelt Imports

 

 

 

 

 

 

Nora Corbett continues to make music with Lyrical in the Muse Collection. Blue, green and red beads stitched on 32ct ocean kiss linen from Wichelt Imports, make Lyrical sing out. Contact Wichelt Imports.

It has been brought to our attention that the Lyrical image on page 13 of the Sept./Oct. issue of Needlework Retailer printed too blue. The fabric on the stitched model is closer to DMC color 318. We apologize for any inconveniences this error may have caused. We have adjusted the photo shown here to more closely resemble the original.
