Keep a Small Garden ...
Here’s a graph I’d like to share from a design I’m currently working up on linen I bought on sale from Fabric.com. The thread count is high (maybe 38 or 40 ct), but it feels nice and looks good. Anyway, one cannot go too far wrong at $12.98 per yard! I’ll post a few pics as I go along. The sampler verse is mine.
The pattern pieces are in the green, My Shared Files box on the right hand side of the blog.
Happy Stitching!
Remy
