I have finished the Heart In Hand-Spring Sampler. Don't look too closely! It is so bad! This was my first experience in working on 32 Count Belfast Linen. 32 count made my eyes cross and the linen was unreal! I am definately going to have to practice! I loved the flosses which were Weeks Dye Works, Gentle Art Sampler and Olde Willow. Working with these was also a first. I have the Summer, Fall and Winter Samplers kits so by the time I get to Winter, maybe I'll be a better 32 ct. linen stitcher!

Your first linen piece looks good to me :-)
Why not try 28ct linen to see if you like it better?
Great stitching btw
I can't see anything you did wrong on your sampler. I think it looks wonderful! I love WDW, GAST and Olde Willow threads too! Can't wait to see the other 3 samplers done too!
I think it looks great. Sometimes with linen you need to make sure you have a good piece of linen. I know I've used some knubby linen before that made the stitched piece look out of whack. keep up the great work. I love the way lnen makes the piece look.
