A new handwork project is always exciting, and since this one will probably take me a while, I thought I'd mark the beginning of it with a post. It's the white windows on 100% linen embroidery sampler by Colette Moscrop @colettemoscrop, which I purchased from Snuggly Monkey @snugglymonkey. A hand screen printed fabric panel, it measures 13.5" x 20.5".
I backed it with Essex linen in natural, and hand-basted it.Due to the nature of this piece, I have to decide how to stitch it! I'm using Aurifil 12wt, and just deciding on stitches as I go. So far, I'm really enjoying it, and love stitching on the 100% linen.
Linen is great to embroider on. I like your embroidery hoop.
