Exceedingly Diligent

In All Things be Exceedingly Diligent
Needlework Press 2018
Legacy Linen 37 ct Russian Tea Cake
Au Ver A Soie silks

Saltbox Stitcher is such an enabler!  Carol, the Saltbox Stitcher showed her framed Diligence sampler and I was smitten.  This sampler is long and skinny (406 stitches wide and 95 stitches high).

When I finish the stitching it is going to be approximately 24 inches long.  No worries, I already have a spot picked out where it will hang when finished and framed.

This is my first time stitching a Needlework Press sampler/design and my first time stitching on 37 ct Legacy linen--I like them both!


Learning is not attained by chance, it must be sought for with ardor and diligence.

  2. ahhhh very nice ! I am using 37 ct on two HATS samplers recommended choice by the Attic. I like it just fine but then I have always felt Legacy linen was awesome. I do still prefer hand dyed linen but it seems to be harder and harder to obtain in quantity for the shop owners. Enjoy ! Mel

  8. As stated by Stanford Medical, It is really the one and ONLY reason women in this country get to live 10 years more and weigh on average 19 KG less than we do.

    (And by the way, it really has NOTHING to do with genetics or some secret-exercise and EVERYTHING around "how" they are eating.)

    P.S, What I said is "HOW", and not "what"...
