Cross Stitch -
Wedding Sampler #2
Pattern from:
Cross Stitch & Country Crafts, May/June 1986
Stitched on: 14ct Aida
Finished Size: 13" W x 17 5/8" H
Again, no hate mail
about a wedding present not being finished on time. They did get
a wedding present, this was something special for later - like their
5th anniversary. hmmmm, maybe that should be their 10th......
Anyway, I smartened
up (that comes with age, along with the bad eyesight) and started this
one on 14 count Aida vice the 28 count dirty linen. Much less
strain on the eyes, although, I must admit, the one on dirty linen does
have a more 'heirloom' quality about it. Anyway, Paula's bedroom
colors (at least they used to be - no telling what they are now) were
rose and a sort of mint green, which is why I choose the Aida for this
one.
