Ruth Bacheler Finished!

I finally have a stitching finish to share!  I started Ruth way back in 2009.  I actually started it three different times until I was happy with the colors.  I'm so glad I got back to it and got it finished!

The Scarlet Letter "Ruth Bacheler 1717"

Linen: 34 ct. Cafe au Lait Legacy Linen (coffee/tea-dyed)

Threads: DMC

Started: 5/09 - Finished 5/7/13

The DMC threads I used are actually a conversion given to me by Katrina.  She has a great eye for color and I know she won't mind if I share that conversion with you...


The called for color is on the left (next to the symbol), the color I used is on the right. The initials in the parenthesis are used for the Irish stitch points and Bargello.
