My America 250 by Plum Street Samplers is being stitched on 32-count linen. I have been pleased with the stitch coverage of 1 over 2 until the letters began. It had been put away for a week or so while I decided if the letters are to faint/thin or not. Below are the letters above my sheep pin keep for size.
A squirrel came my way last week and arrived at my house yesterday. Plum Street Samplers: Strength and Laughter. This is being stitched on 36-count linen. The sheep pin keep was placed on it for size evaluation.
I think I will be happy continuing on the 32-count linen for America 250. It had been in my mind to start over on the 36-count.
The hand quilting has continued on my runner. It took me a bit to think of what to do in the background.
Just a little closer.
This is all that is left to do on the background and then the sides will be begin. A plan has already been thought of for that.
My slow stitching is set for the weekend. May you enjoy your threads. So hard to believe football season will be starting soon.
