Well, the plan was to start Emma Miles 1848 Sampler today for Nicola's Scarlet Letter Year SAL. I have the chart and I have the silks. My only thing left was to pick my linen from my vast stash.....Well, my stash wasn't as vast as I hoped! I love sitiching on 36 count fabric and I had hope the "right" linen would be in there....I have tons of Lakeside Linen from Theresa's Linen of the month club from years back. The only problem was all I have is fat quarters and I need a fat half to do Emma on 36 count.
Plan B, was to find some 40 count that might work. I could possibley use a fat quarter on 40 count. Alas, I just didn't have the right color linen I was hoping for.
In the picture below, I have put a light cream color 32 cout linen...I am going to buy a large piece of 36 count light cream colored linen. I like how that looks. So, I will be shopping for a fat half of Edinborough.
The best laid plans! I hope this is nto an indication on how my 2013 is going to be;)
Anyways, Happy New Year! May all your stitches be happy ones!

Ah well. I've had that happen too. Such a bummer! Hope you find the perfect linen.
I know you will find the right one.... I just love this design!!!!
I know you'll find the right linen for Emma! Better that you make the decision to change now than get started & decide to change! (I know that from experience! LOL)
Happy new year!
