Well, my plans were to start on the floral alphabet (A design by Permin of Copenhagen, published in the April 2009 issue of Just Cross Stitch's latest issue), but I misread the fabric size and, after completing the first letter, realized that I would only be able to fit in four of the six rows of the sampler on the 18 ct Aida fabric I was using! AAACK! So, online to order a larger cut of ivory (32 ct linen this time) and I will come up with some use for this letter "M"!
In the meantime, while I wait for the linen to arrive, I started on "Spirit of the Sockeye" from The Stitching Studio (based on artwork by Blaine Billman) and that is truly black 28ct Jobelin that I am stitching on. It seems my flash makes even black linen transparent to the pattern on the bedspread under it!
