Here are both hornbooks. I must say that the second one, on the brown linen, is much nicer. The mounting went better than the first, the floss was new and not fuzzy, it just looks better. But the decision is yours. I used 935/3052 for the leaves instead of the charted 500/501. There are errors in both and it ticks me off. After this morning's post, I had to remove the bottom half of one side and stitch it all over again because the edge was off two and it was obvious once mounted. There is still one other error. Be back late this evening with the winner.

Hmmm, they are both beautiful but, I prefer the lighter linen.
& Hello to you,
Barb
They both look great to me, Marly! I love how the fox looks like he wants to climb right up the vine and grab the crow on the roof. Sorry you had to re-stitch the one part--especially after already having it mounted...
They are both great! Love the different looks.
Those are just beautiful, Marley! I like both of them but I think I like the lighter linen just a wee bit better!
Hi Marly,
You have created two beautiful pieces and I love them both! Amazing how the same pattern can look so different with color choices!! Bravo!!!

They are both great! I like the darker of the two. The winner will have a hard time deciding!
I am so glad I do not have your need for perfection in my work. If so I would never finish anything..Your work is beautiful and I think you are too hard on yourself. Enjoy your day.
They are both beautiful. I think I would choose the brown linen.
They both look nice, but J prefer the lighter one.
Both hornbooks are lovely, but I like the way the red fox pops on the light linen. Melinda
Marly; they are both so unique and lovely in their own way. hard decision!
They both look great! And it's so interesting to see them side by side - how different they look.
Such neat projects, and I love how you finished them!!
