Gentle Friends, my "new" stitch is an older Blackbird Designs piece from their Loose Feathers Sampler Series...
Agnes Platt's Strawberry Sampler - Spring 2013. I'm stitching this on 40ct LL Vintage Lentil, one of my favorite linen's to use - and - for the most part, using the called for floss. The first big change I made to the floss was to the color of the strawberries. The called for color is a really bright Christmas shade of red GAST "Holly Berry." Well, I knew right off that wouldn't work with all the other really lovely softer shades being used, so I switched that sucker out for GAST's "Rhubarb." As you well know the overdyed floss from GAST colors can range all over the place and the three skeins of floss I have of Rhubarb are all different so I'll mix them up a bit as I go along. It's going to be a fun piece to stitch this Spring/Summer...
