I've been receiving such nice emails from folks that are stitching
on my Old Farmhouse linen...
I am so happy that you are happy with it!
I have alot of messy fun dyeing it ~ and every yard comes out different than the next...
it's always a suprise for me when it dries and I get to see the mottled colors and stains appear ~
I just added some 28ct Old Farmhouse Linen
in our Etsy shop for those that want to stitch on a little larger count than the 30 or 32ct ~
I'll be adding some 32ct in the etsy shop today too
...for those that want to stitch on something a little smaller.

I wanted to run this by you all ~
what are your thoughts on me dyeing up some black, dark brown, or charcoal-colored linen?
I have a design in my head
( one among thousands! )
that I want to stitch in
Shades of White
and think it would look great on a really dark background...
...post a comment and let me know your thoughts on this!!
I'm off to finish stitching the 'OWL O'ween' design ~
I should have a sneak peek of it soon and of the
'Weep Not' design that Miss Flea is finishing up.
Have a beautiful day my Friends!!

Now...to go back and look at that charming blue visitor of yours........

I love your linen so I am sure any other color you do would be fabulous...any of the colors you mentioned sound interesting, esp with a white project! Have a wonderful "hump" day Lori! :)
WOnder why it came up anonymous on my comment (the last one)??
I think 'shades of white' would be stunning on your dyed black linen, don't know if I could stitch something like that for my ageing eyes working on black would be difficult. But perhaps if it were 28 count linen? I'd like to try.
Snowmen & Halloween would look Neat on your new colors !!! Another good idea !!!!
I'd stitch on it; charcoal would be my preference for the white I think. You are so creative! I'm off to the Etsy to order my linen.
Hi Lori! I just finished a little stitch on your 30 ct linen and I LOVE it! Your linen is by far the best I've found in a long time...it is an absolute joy to stitch on and I love how it finishes up. I think the darker colors would be great...I know I'd definitely buy some :)
Hugs,
Sandy
I would love the dark brown - I like to stitch borders and then use it for a "background" in a frame with an old picture or paper cut out in the middle.
Love your ideas!
I really like the idea of light stitches on a dark background, so I am all for it.
I am sure it will look wonderful. I have never stitched on dark colors....but it sounds nice
I think the darker linen stitched with whitish threads sounds wonderful!
i don't see why not. a lot of people like darker colors.can you imagine a jack on black linen? denise
Love the shades of these linens. Definitely go with dark brown. Black is a little too harsh.
