Happy Friday Friends,
The end of the week brings a finish from the framer.
Janet Reid 1835
Chessie & Me
Called for Gentle Arts Simply Wool & Vintage Examplar Linen
I thoroughly enjoyed stitching this sampler. I was a little leery of stitching it on 28 ct. linen with wool fibers. My official report is I love stitching with wool. I want to stitch everything on 28 ct. with a wool conversion. I beg Gentle Arts to make all their colors in wool so I can convert other patterns I want to stitch to wool.
A bit passionate, you say? If you haven't tried wool I highly recommend it. I used a shorter length than I normally would with cotton and a bigger needle to cut down on friction but all in all I really didn't notice the wool fraying. I LOVE WOOL! :)
I hope everyone has a fun filled weekend planned.
Lots of stitching and a trip to JoAnn's and Hobby Lobby for me in the morning.
Keep on stitchin'

Charming sampler, Jan and your stitching is beautiful! I love the frame.
ReplyDeleteI have never stitched with wool although after seeing what lovely work you did, I might have to give it a try.
Congratulations!
Oh my goodness ... I'm sorry! ... I just noticed my fingers typed "Jan" ... no, no, no that's not right.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful finish ... NAN!

ReplyDeleteBeautiful finish! Congrats!!!
ReplyDeleteYes, I like wool when I used it for some Christmas ornies... but the cost prohibited me from buying it for big projects! That is a gorgeous piece! The colors are so vivid and the frame is perfect for it! Congrats!
ReplyDeleteThat piece is so beautiful! Love the way the bright wool colors pop. Great job!
ReplyDeleteSo pretty and soooo colorful!
