I used dmc 869 which looked best on this greenish Heartland 36 count over two. Red, blue, not so much. The second one will be a darker red.
Many changes, so easy to do on this style. Minor ones for symmetry and a few letter changes.
This has no appropriate spool size yet so I'm considering hanging from a ribbon, or rolling and secured with ribbon. PTP linen has enough heft and with muslin lining should be fine rolled.
Not sure how to go about my chart downsize, never sold on the stash sites and may list here. Majority are OOP R&R originals that are hand drawn.
I ordered a piece of Cactus Wren from market, gorgeous, so when stock was replenished, ordered another small. Not the same. Dammit. Three other small pieces ordered for color check where not what I expected. Not bad, just not for me. Thank you 123 for offering those smalls.
Have a good day.

You are a speed stitcher. Yikes...you polished that off quickly. (And it looks right at home with finishes #8 and #9. GORGEOUS!!). Wow, 10 finishes already and I have nothing of substance to show. I ordered a piece of Cactus Wren too...I have nothing to compare it to but it is beautiful linen.
Beautiful stitching Marly. I used to go to R&R Stitching (Dyeing to Stitch) in Virginia Beach when we visited Fletcher's Mom in Norfolk.
Hi Marly: This is such a lovely design, I have always liked when you make color changes.

Looking good in the neighborhood as they say. Wonderful stitched pieces. Janice
Your finishings are beautiful as always! Love these smalls.
Take care, Truus from Holland
Your band sampler is darling. Well done, Marly!
