I'm always starting something.........

I went ahead and got a little feel of this 18 count Lambswool linen. I'm following Tanya's

directions to stitch over 2 with 3 strands of threads.  At first I was hesitate about the large

 count as I haven't stitched 18 count in about 10 years, but I do like the look as I'm going

 here and especially on the linen. It's rustic, prim, sweet.


So, I just started a little here while I watched 2 Lifetime movies. It's a lazy Sunday.


The fabric is pretty stiff, almost canvas-like and reminds me of needlepoint.

  1. Looks super, Jennifer. I LOVE that fabric and need to use it again for something. The three strands of DMC covers well as the 2 was just too little in my opinion. Enjoy!

  2. Thanks so much!

    Yep, I think the 3 strands cover better for this linen.
    I'm already visualizing this finished!!! The color of the blossoms and then the light blue just popped together. I'm so glad I ordered the fat quarter to go on the back as it really looks good together.

  3. It looks great Jennifer! And I'm glad that you're enjoying your new frame. I really wish I could get one of those but my furniture wouldn't support having one. Perhaps I need new furniture - LOL . Yeah, that will go over real big with the DH!!!

  4. Oh, come on Deb!!! (((giggle))
    you gotta just get new furniture girlie! This Needlework 4 system is WONDERFUL! When I'm snipping threads and changing it's just flips without any pressure around, I love it. Don't think I'm pack it in my luggage though.....that would make my DH look at me like crazy with all the airline weight charges now!
