I have been using the hoop on and off because the WDW linen is a little soft and it's sometimes hard to see the holes. Other than that I'm loving it! :)
It looks so pretty this far. And does the hoop really help on WDW! I'm not crazy about that linen, but maybe the hoop would help stretch the whole a little bit. I have a hard time seeing them on that fabric.
That is absolutely beautiful! Funny, but we were talking on Sat. in the shop about the softness of WDW linens, and one of the customers, a very experienced needleworker, said she sprays spray starch on WDW to stiffen them up. Love their colors though--very worth it.
I have been obsessing about this pattern! Even bought the Belle Soie threads while I'm waiting for the pattern to arrive. I look forward to seeing yours progressing!
I love your blog and I love your works .. I am Italian and I don't speak English very well .. I'm glad to have you discovered .. your works are wonderful! soon Sara
It's a lovely design. Can't wait to see your progress on it. :)
