Corrections:

Page 11 Nebraska Prairie - the dot (.) symbol for roof/windows should be WDW Chickpea. The ENTIRE roof is Charcoal. The windows are filled with WDW Chickpea and the star just to the right of the roofline is also done with Chickpea.  Corrected Chart

Page 16 A Sister's Love - the satin stitches under the second line of the first alphabet should be stitched with 1 strand of WDW Blue Jeans.
