Last night I went to stitching club A few months ago i saw one of the ladies using linen instead of even weave I love the look of it so much. I decided I want to stitch my blue heart on it This will be 25 count linen. So yesterday I thought I do practice run at stitching club on what I thought was 28 count linen it was wee bit taxing on my old eyes but manged it well. I then checked with Debbie that I was getting right over two threads as the stitches look so small it was at this time I found it was 32 count so 25 count should be easy if the frogs stay away lol.
