Hi again.
I started on the 35 count WDW linen, decided it needed to be a little smaller. Searched, no 40 count except one shop but would not spend 32 for a quarter yard when I need such a small piece. I found 46, but have been struggling with worsening eye condition and wasn't sure it would be feasible. Most times, different counts are slightly off a shade because of the tighter weave. I love this one!
So I matched it on a 40 count. This one took a while to dye using four colors, each a separate dip. The other 40 count I dyed to a very light pink was not to be changed so I started over.
Good!
Would love the 46 but as I said, do not trust my eyesight. That zigging outline could easily be home to many errors. Over one, even on 35/36 count, is easier for me to see because of the looser weave than 46. I think this may actually be 41 or 42 now after wetting and drying so many times.
So I can get moving on this.
Still a lot of cabinet painting to do in this small kitchen. Trying to spruce up with neutral colors. No intention to purchase new cabinets since whoever would buy the house may want to do that in their choice. I am liking the white, really showcases wood tone or painted furniture.
Have a good day. Middle of May. What?

My Kindness sampler is on 36 count and because of the solid stitching, I'm having trouble seeing that clearly. Love the color of your fabric.
"Good"??? I'd say PERFECT! If you ever tire of stitching, I think you could easily have a great career in hand-dyeing linen. ;-)
This is a beautiful pink color!
Don't know if I have the patient to search for the right fabric color or to dye a piece of fabric.
Take care, Truus from Holland
