I have finished my Dimensions Garden sampler Titled "Heavens Gift" I love it. It is quite large. I have been working on it exclusively for 1 year. It was a lot more than I thought it was. (Or maybe I was just slow on this one??? ) It has brass charms to hang on it and I am supposed to seal them before I sew them on. Has anyone else done this?? If so What did you use?? I have also finished the S.B Utah pillow. This one only took me 3 days so it went fast. I did it on linen. I think about 24 or 25 count which ever linen comes in. It was a kit so I don't know for sure what the count is.... Anyway I did ok, this was my first item stitched on linen. I have never done linen or evenweave before. I really like the way it looks but the counting was tricky at first. Next I am starting a Big Boy steam engine for my hubby. He is a model train fan.I think I will do it on lt blue 28 ct evenweave. It is quite large and lots of black and grey shading. It will be one of those that I have to color as I go to keep my place. This will be my practice piece before I start my "Grand Old Victorian" on evenweave. Happy Dance...Happy Dance....
