Ok, so this one has had my eye all year.  I asked Teresa what linen I should do and she said just use a greige.  I was fresh off the heels of finishing Crowning the Tree by Blackbird Designs on Lakeside Vintage Pearled Barley and I was still in love.

I called Acorn's and they were out so I hopped on the Stitcher's Garden website and they had it!  I calculated the stitch count and ordered what I needed.  The linen came and I happily got started.

I like to spread out quickly when I stitch so I made a window, then a letter, then a tree.  I noticed that the pattern was very small and that was great!  And then I noticed that my house was VERY close to the edge.  I did some measurements and noticed that I only ordered linen for the stitch size!  Oops.

Back to the Stitcher's Garden, ordered the proper size.  This time I followed up my order with a stitch count email. They replied that I DID NOT order enough but they were sending what I needed at no extra charge!  Thank you so much!
