I’m not sure how long I have had Tall Pines by Little House Needleworks in my stash, but I decided I needed to work on a small project so pulled this one out.
“Under tall pines and stars giving light, a cabin sits wrapped in the still of the night”. While the recommended fabric is 32 Ct. Summer Khaki Linen, I chose to use 16ct Chocolate Milk from Fabric by Stephanie. The recommended floss uses DMC, Gentle Art Sampler Threads, Weeks Dye Works and Crescent Colors. I am using some of the recommended floss and switching some of it out for Victorian Motto Sampler Shoppe floss (my very favorite.) The stitch count is 99 x 99 so in 16ct, the finished size will only be 6 1/4 x 6 1/4.

I forgot to note when I started this one but it was a fairly quick stitch and I finished it on October 13, 2020. No to decide how to finish it.
August 28, 2022: I decided to use one of the boards I bought from Michaels to finish off this one. I laced the stitched piece on matboard, covered another piece of matboard with fabric and attached them both to the wooden board. Rustic and perfect for this one.
What a pretty stitch you are working on, Pat!
