Today I finished the top part of Tea With Jane Austen by The Sampler Girl with the exception of the number 3, which is in Old Purple Paint GA color that I have on order right now and should be here by next week. I changed the cat color to the orangey shade (Nutmeg CC) to look more like Thomas and the Ecru section I changed to an overdyed (Fawn) so that it would show better on this linen. The rest are DMC colors.
I've had questions on the type of linen and I'm honestly embarrassed to say I'm not sure exactly because I had it in a pile of linens, but think it is a cream Belfast, Zweigart 28 count.
I have to show you this absolutely beautiful frame that Tanya's brother, Will Willis, made and it will fit this design perfectly. If you order a Tea With Jane Austen chart, you must order a frame because it is just beautiful. BG and I opened it today when it came in the mail and he also said it was very beautifully made.
I'm driven now to finish this piece as I want to frame it now!!!!!
I love the little swirls in it and the old look about it. Beautiful wood indeed!
This afternoon I took a 3 hour nap and feel a bit more rested now. I've been listening to the news all day while stitching and all the news about Chile. What a tragedy!Hope you all had a restful Saturday. Back to stitching when I should be cleaning house! ;)
Till later,
Jennifer
That frame is fantastic! Beautiful progress on Jane. I can't wait to see her all framed up.
ReplyDeleteHey Girlie - glad you like the frame! I was jumping up and down when he brought mine over for the model and think the wood he picked is awesome. Enjoy!

beautiful stitching..it's coming along nicely. I think that frame is just perfect for it.
ReplyDeleteJennifer you are such a bad influence on me I am beginning to love that tea lady! I think the temptation is becoming too much especially with that ginger cat.
ReplyDeleteHmmmm maybe have to go speak with Tanya this week (AGAIN)!!
