The wheat one was much harder to do as the thread is so fine (perle no12 ish), but i...

Do you have the name of the pattern as well as the number? This might help track it down - but I do agree that going direct to the company is probably your best bet.

That's a lovely design, I'll look forward to seeing updates for this project. Lovely colours too
