I didn't have any 32ct. really other than white or cream so I asked my stitching bud, MamaJoan if I could obtain some from her. She came through with flying colors for me.
This is the first part. I'm not sure on the color of the linen, but the perle cotton is #3042 and matches very well.
I think I need to start doing more hardanger. I had a bad case of the frogs while trying to accomplish this. I had to rip out 3 different times. :(
On my last post, I forgot to share one more finish.

I am going to finish this as a bellpull. I want some kind of wrought iron hanger with some cute halloween fabric I think. I will probably have to wait until the halloween stuff comes out in a few months.
I want to give a "shout" out to one of my stitching buds, Chris. Last Friday was Chris' last day of work...she is officially (finally) retired now. Chris doesn't have a blog (she should) but she does LOTS of beautiful pieces of needlework. Chris is always upbeat and can really get our group charged up! Congratulations Chris! Enjoy your retirement! :)
That's all I have for now. I really want to start something new but I should work on some of the pieces that I already have going. We'll see. :o

Love that L*K finish. Thanks for the link on the hardanger piece. I'll probably not do it (I jumped feet first into the deep end on a hardanger piece a few years ago - it's still a WIP) but will enjoy watching your progress.
Love your Halloween Rules finish and can't wait to see more of your hardanger work.
Congrats on your Lizzie Kate finish! I love the Halloween Rules and hope to start it sometime this summer. It is my favorite "Rules" set!
Love the hardanger...it is gorgeous!
Love, love your LK Halloween finish. I have a bunch of Halloween fabric. What size are you looking for? Maybe I have what you need?
In your previous post you had a bunch of fabulous finishes. I especially like the BBD one. And the LK ABC lessons is perfect for a grad gift!
As for the Pink matters blog, my vote is to go ahead and start your own! Make sure you post a link and I bet you'll get some stitchers to join in.
Oh Hardanger - I look at it and think it is so beautiful but am just not brave enough to tackle it.
Halloween Rules is wonderful done and will make a great bellpull. I hope you find your hanger.
Love the halloween rules! It will look fab in a bellpull.
