I started yet another sampler. Sabine Taterra-Gundacker is charting BKRM 1779 and is hoping to release the chart this Summer.

When she asked me if I wanted to stitch this as she is charting, of course I said "YES!"
I first started this on 40 ct Onyx by Weeks Dye Works. I stitched the first tree but something didn't look right. A part of the tree that should be a square was no longer a square, but a RECTANGLE :( So checked the even-ness of the fabric and to my chagrin, the fabric was not even, it was not 40 ct both ways, but it was 36 x 40 !! I was not happy, to say the least. Then I thought I would try this on 32 ct and even ordered HDF premium. Vikki was kind enough to mail me my order right away. I made my second start but wasnot happy with this one either. After stitching on high count or over one on 28 or 30 ct, this looked HUGE. So scratched this start and decided to stitch BKRM on 28 ct even weave with HDF regular floss.
I started this 2 weeks ago and am now at the half way mark.
