While waiting for the flower thread, I reviewed the big girl starts. Sarah Needham will continue on the current linen. Jane Southward may change, a few options chosen. Kezia Turnock is a real problem. Sarah Stewart Hardman was kitted, not started, so I made an attempt.
She is quite a bit larger than I thought! Following the dmc legend, the 898 for the flower stopped me. Not interested right now in choosing/changing threads, but will soon.
This border is larger than usual for me, not an routine repeat, and not my favorite thing to do. Back to Sarah Needham.
Nutroll recipe will be posted soon.
Thanks for the needle suggestions, my standard is 26, tried a 24. My thread is still sticking/snagging in the eye. I really have to tug to get it through the eye. No idea what they are, will just purchase new.
Have a good day!

Sarah is absolutely STUNNING! Why did that color stop you? Is it used just for the small centers?? And that looks so incredibly delicious. I think I could be drooling. ~Robin~
A lovely sampler and I would change that dark color into some brighter one.
Only small samplers are my favorite to stitch-- the big ones take too much time and my interest will be gone when I am halfway.
Take care and have a lovely day,Truus from Holland
I hope the new needles solve the problem. I like Sarah...mostly. Again it's the verse that stops me. Yes, that is a dark color, OTOH it looks like other flowers are lighter, so maybe the darker would be good? But whatever color you do use, I'm sure it will be lovely.
Mmmmm, that nut roll looks yummy!
Oh I love Sarah and Jane the most! They are BIG. And, I am just finishing a BIG one...I think I need a small palate cleanser. The nut roll looks wonderful...she said...while drooling...
