His plumage is beautiful! I chose DMC color viariations-"Wild Fire #4200- for the Good Morning. I just wasn't keen on that much solid red. We live on a river so the little village house on the stream was just perfect. I highly recommend this piece. I don't recall the exact name on the fabric but it was Charles Craft, 14ct, named something like "oatmeal." Lots of little flecks of color to give it a very homey look. I am happy. It's a pretty big piece so prepare you patience.
