And it will be 78 today and 80 tomorrow. Then we'll knock 30 degrees off and it's all downhill from there. The end.
Elizabeth is coming along on the 35 count Winter Brew. I do love this color linen. Several shops have listed Vellum but when I order, I get a backorder notice so no stock is available. I emailed a recommended shop showing inventory but they never replied. It's been over a month since my request at The Attic and no reply from them either. People are busy! I will try calling both tomorrow. I have Wren and also Faun and although I love seeing your work on them, I'm still disappointed. The Faun has too much background pink (you know I have that pinky problem) and the Wren is very dull. Half yards of both so I may take a snippet and try a dip.
The single border (except for the top) is all first leg of the cross. It's easy to remove if misaligned so I usually don't complete the stitch until I'm sure it's correct. I can finish them without needing the chart if I'm outside or waiting in the car. So far, all looks good.
I told you how disappointed I was that my supposed orange mums are dark red. Well, looky here. They are just starting to open and what do I see? Orange. Never saw an orange start out burgundy!
Hope your day goes well.
Be back this evening for the Stitching Girls draw.

Looking good.... I feel like such a slacker LOL. Love the mums....I had some like that a year or so back...a complete and delightful surprise. Holy crap on those temps....we are to get down to 14 tonight. W.T.H????!!!!!! ~Robin~
I love the color of the mums! I hate to order linen because, like you, any hint of pink turns me off. I got a whole yard of vintage something or other that was suppose to be a good sampler tan and all I could see was pink! My daughter is very artistic so I asked her what undertone she saw and it was pink, good, I'm not blind!
Those mums are going to be gorgeous!
Isn’t it something how fabric is getting to be so hard to find? I built up my stash over the past two years so I’ve been fortunate to have a good selection to choose from. Have you shopped kittenstitcher.com? She tries to keep her inventory listings up to date and restocks frequently.
