Another Start (and I like the linen this time)

Thank you all for you kind and funny comments on my post the other day. It's so nice to know I'm not alone! :) I worked on Ellen for a little bit more and then put her away. I had enough of the drama! I got out Ruthie, who is so much nicer to me (although I did have some drama with her in the beginning too) and worked on her a little bit...

Ruth Bacheler as of 4/20/09

And yesterday while working on Ruth Bacheler my linen came for my CHS "Sampler Stocking." I ordered the recommended 40 ct. Meadow Rue for it and I love it! I was so happy when I opened the package and saw the color - it's so pretty. :)

  9. Great starts! I have now been hooked on 40ct as well. I just finished Earth Sampler this afternoon and stitched it on 40ct lakeside linen V. Autumn Gold. It is yummy. I need to buy more of this color for some other designs.

  14. Love your new start! I have that half finished but don't like the conversion that I was using so it languishes in a drawer for now. Your Ruthie looks fab!

  24. Where did you order the Meadow Rue from? I am going to order the Strawberry Blonde from CHS soon, but can't find the linen for it. (sorry, I know this is an older post!)
