Philip Foster Farmhouse |
|
FROM STORE OVERSTOCK, NEVER USED...From
Heartstring Samplery and inspired by a
real place, located near the end of the Oregon
Trail. Inside the chart cover, you'll find
historical details about the house and its
original occupants, as well as a remarkable old
growth lilac tree that is still growing today
in the front yard. Shown stitched on 36ct Old
Mill Java linen using Classic Colorworks (Bunny
Honey, Poblano Pepper, Brown Hen, Eggshell),
Gentle Art Sampler Threads (Endive, French
Lilac, Pecan Pie, Roasted Marshmallow) and
Weeks Dye Works (Grits, Molasses, Flatfish,
Porpoise) with a stitch count of 122 x 105.
The majority of the design is counted cross-
stitch with one thread over two, but there is
also a small portion of one thread over one
(lettering over rooftop), and the window panes
were satin stitched to give the appearance of
glass reflecting a blue sky. |
