Today I mentioned:

Cross stitch:

Jane Thompson 1838 - The Scarlett House - exclusive through Homespun Needlework Facebook group from The Shepherd’s Needle. 36-count Sleeping Bear (Needle and Flax), called-for NPI silk.

Hannah Green 1826 - Stitch-along starting January 1, going for 14 months, to end on March 1, 2026 (200 years after Hannah finished her sampler). I am using 36-count Just the Ticket (Tabbycat Linens) and the called-for DMC, 2 over 2. Email me if you would like to have me send you a PDF that shows the breakdown of sections that I am going to do, or watch my video #139 for more details. Please tag me and also use the hashtag (there is some question about how hashtags will be supported in Instagram …) @tworivers_58  #hannahgreen1826sal
