Wow. First time this happened, glad it did.
I'm starting a few projects, one is this sampler.
The linen I choose was more gray and dusty, perfect for this. The others I looked at had too much gold/green tone.
But you know I'm never satisfied. I mixed taupe and a touch of gold which was difficult with crossed fingers. I have several very small spray bottles to lightly mist linen for a barely noticeable change. One random spray would have been enough, but I did two. Looks like the chart photo ... but it's not over.
To my surprise, There was a bonus to my task. The mist was light enough to affect the surface only. No dye came through! I now have a choice of original, adding a light spray, or using the twice sprayed. Never had this happen! But yay!

We must never forget those who paid the ultimate sacrifice.
Freedom isn't free.
May God bless America.
We watched the NASCAR race yesterday; and before the start, there was a wonderful ceremony honoring the armed forces. Midway through the race, the drivers pulled over and shut off their engines for a moment of silence for those who did not come home. I have an uncle who was shot down during the Korean War. That was very emotional as we are still waiting for him to be found and brought home. Thank you for the topic of remembering in this post.
The fabric looks awesome, Marly. It would be hard to pick a favorite (the original or the sprayed). We must always remember and honor those who gave their lives so we could enjoy the freedoms we have. Freedom isn't free.
