Hello stitching buds. Hope everyone is doing well.
During a photo search for the two bigger samplers I'm working on, a floss tube with a cameo of Jane was listed. Threads were silks, Attic conversion, and the lighter flower was a beautiful pastel peachy pink. The stronger pink was very nice so I assumed my screen was showing colors fairly true. It was gorgeous. Silks and other threads can be converted to dmc but even a slight variation from the original can impact the work. Seeing that made me consider a similar shade in place of the 3827 which I plan to do tomorrow.
Sarah was still on the station, and I decided to continue with the 40 count. I don't want to purchase more linen for her, prefer to use what I have. My big girl panties are larger since the banana cake with coffee frosting (thank you Carol!) but I can still pull them up. I hope.
There is quite a bit of over one so I tested a few stitches before proceeding, and I managed. How I hate choosing fabric! I still question if the Ween Beans should be Sarah's ground, but the vine's thread is very close to the linen color. I still may test a piece. Maybe it wouldn't be what I envision.
Not even 8pm and I am already fighting sleep. Happens quite often and since I only stitch in the evening, really cuts my stitching time.
Hope your weekend is going well.

Such pretty stitching Marly. I'm tempted to try 40 count again...just not sure my eyes can take it! I'm still plugging away on Elleln Harrison, but feel the itch to be starting something new!
That's a whole lot of turkeys!!!
The colors you choose for this sampler are very pretty.
When I stitch a sampler,I have the colors from the chart and sometimes when I don't like one of them,I will take another color.
But I never will look for the sampler in flosstubes or other places on internet.
Most of the time I am late out of bed in the morning and in the evening mostly too tired to do some stitching, all due to the sarcoïdose I was diagnosed with. It's common to that illnes- well it is what it is...
That are a lot of turkeys in your garden!
Take care, Truus from Holland
