Couldn't Resist ...

... Starting this one!!

40 ct. Straw WDW Linen, Belle Soie silks

I have been using the hoop on and off because the WDW linen is a little soft and it's sometimes hard to see the holes. Other than that I'm loving it! :)

  2. It looks so pretty this far. And does the hoop really help on WDW! I'm not crazy about that linen, but maybe the hoop would help stretch the whole a little bit. I have a hard time seeing them on that fabric.

  6. That is absolutely beautiful! Funny, but we were talking on Sat. in the shop about the softness of WDW linens, and one of the customers, a very experienced needleworker, said she sprays spray starch on WDW to stiffen them up. Love their colors though--very worth it.

  10. Oh such pretty colors - I really like this one! I always stitch in hand and have never used WDW but I have to admit I prefer the stiffer fabric.
