Needed 3859 for the pale pink. The called for 4611 silk equivalent is dmc 407, could not see well enough. This is darker, but not enough to change the feel of the sampler. Still difficult on this darker linen.
Thought it may be higher than 40 count, but is not. I check count by running stitch over two.
Why not 36 count? Not interested in framing and want smaller finishes. And this scrap was the perfect size so cutting a larger piece was not necessary.
Hot today!
My fig trees have tiny little bumps! I think we will finally get a few fresh figs!
Enjoy your weekend.

Your sampler is looking so good, Marly.
Love this sampler Marly.
Was listening to a flosstube and a designer Jakob de Graaf, said that he was happy when stitchers were changing colors or text or initials in his design. Just what you are doing.
Take care and happy weekend,Truus from Holland
I finally dug my project bags out of the pile on the end table so I can figure out where I'd left off so many months ago. Now to convince myself that mindless internet scrolling is not what I should do at night!
Your stitching is looking good as always, I like the color change.
Awww...congrats on the baby fig bumps!! You'll have to keep apprised of their progress! The stitching is so pretty. I'm not quite clear if you were saying the pink couldn't be seen on the linen or if you couldn't see to see if you had the right color. (Maybe it's just my head at the current moment??)
