you may not get what you see.
A few stitchers emailed about the Tobias linen of Jane and were going to try to find a piece. Just wanted to show the difference, and what you may get, or not.

The linen I am using that I absolutely love was no longer in stock when I tried to order another piece. Very different and subdued compared to an earlier piece, which is also a beautiful color, both 36 count Tobias, different shops, different shipments. Just saying .... good luck!!
I am starting Jane again because of a mishap that I cannot correct. Missy and her claw were involved, need to remember to snip those long serger thread chains that dangle and tempt. A Missyhap. I tried my best but it was too much fussing reweaving both warp and weft. This fat quarter has three inches to spare, so the sampler will still fit since the breaks are near the edge. The damage is not shown, I don't post obscene photos. Since the sampler has very little leeway on this fat quarter, this second start will be at the center mark. I really dislike starting anywhere other than top left but with minimal margins, it's the best option. I'm already crabby so what's a little more?
My friend in SC has the same symptoms as I do, kept testing negative. Goes to the hospital and their more invasive swab showed a variant. It's her third covid bout since spring. I am still improving but the turkeys were not happy when I sneezed and scared the crap out of them.

Be careful! Stay safe.

Maybe Bunnicula got after your garden vegetables!
Love your comments! As to the tomato, maybe it was a bird which didn't close its beak when it pierced the tomato -- the bird missed a good thing cuz that tomato looks super.
I agree with difference of colors on so-called same colored linen. That's why I wish there was a nearby shop to be able to see what is available. Can obviously make a huge difference.
Sounds like a Rook I know. 🙁 Lots of smart comments popped into my mind regarding the tomato, but can't possibly beat Annoynmous's above ^^^^. ~Robin~
Perhaps a bird grabbing a tomato worm that was eating the tomato? I like the Bunnicula theory better.
It's such a crap-shoot on ordering hand dyed linen, but what's a person to do when there are no options to see it in person. Dyeing your own can become a whole new hobby itself. Whining gets old and solves nothing, just like my whining about weeding.
Naughty Missy! Bummer on having to restart Jane again, but at least the damage was near the edge. Is she getting used to being alone yet?
I hope you feel better to get to Shaker Woods, if not this weekend, then next.
