Good Morning Friends & Folk ~

...and June is upon us.

I have been revisiting my Pinterest boards, 

looking at antique miniature samplers again...

this one, below ~

 is my very fist sampler I stitched over one, or 'in miniature'

on 28ct linen to which I severely stained, aged and distressed.

I loved stitching the teapot, basket and dog especially.

{pattern for this sampler, called 'the Little Brown Dog' sampler can be found HERE}

 And I decided to stitch another over-one sampler, 

beginning with this small Brown-headed Cowbird!

this is being stitched with one strand of floss {DMC} over one onto 30ct linen

{a scrap of my hand dyed/stained Old Farmhouse linen} 

 I'm designing this as I stitch, not following any chart ~

just letting my imagination flow.

Have you ever stitched over on on linen?

do you enjoy it? LOL

I find it works up rather quickly for me, 

and it is easier for me to not miscount, since you are relatively stitching in each hole...

would love to hear your thoughts!

Blessings from the Farm
