I have the will power of a flea....
Karen - you can take off that 'maybe' next to my name on your list of Quaker Garden SALers!
This was last night's stitching! Quaker Garden on the recommended R&R linen with GAST and DMC (for economic reasons! - 3033 instead of Shaker White and 935 instead of Caper). The linen is a lot greener than this in reality. I did the middle of the pink flower in white instead of the suggested pink - it's nice to be a bit different!
It's my first time stitching on R&R linen and on 30ct and I really like it. My stitches seems to lie nicely on this count and the coverage is good too. But the linen smells REALLY strongly - a sort of musty linen smell. Is this a R&R thing does anyone know or is it just my piece?
Do fleas have willpower???
ReplyDeletelooks lovely gorgeous stitching, but when isn't it.. I love your stitching
i like my 1x1 on 30 ct as well i have played with some 30 count legacy linen, both normal and dowager weight and it suits my tension perfectly
wow, that's beautiful! Can't wait to see your progress.

Beautiful start, Nicki. :) I really like stitching on this R&R linen too... it's a bit stiff, but I have it in Q Snaps so it doesn't bother me. And yep, most of the R&R linen I've received has arrived with a funny smell.
ReplyDeleteI've never used R&R fabrics, so I'm no help there Nicki. All I can say is that it looks fantastic so far :)
ReplyDeleteNo help with the linen, but your wip is looking lovely.
ReplyDeleteLooking lovely, Nicki! Great start.
ReplyDeleteYou've made a nice start, it looks great! I've only worked with R&R linen once and it definitely had a weird smell.
ReplyDeleteI'm so glad you are SALing with us! Your start is beautiful! Yes, my R&R is not only stiff, but oddly scented as well. Lately I seem to be using a lot of R & R fabrics and just with this piece noticed they are all like that.
ReplyDeleteNow I always thought that fleas had lots of willpower! ;>
