I started Christmas Garden by Blackbird Designs way back in October 2012, and finally finished it a few weeks ago.
I used the recommended threads and this was the first time I've stitched on 40 count linen - my fabric choice was Lakeside Linens 40ct Vintage Light Examplar. I stitched in the initials of my maternal line, going back to my great Grandmother and included Hannah's initials to the sampler.
This was a lovely sampler to stitch and hopefully I'll be able to get my friend to frame it for me soon.

Katrina, your stitching is just lovely! I love your finish. Makes me want to stitch this one.
Gosh--we like lots of the same projects! This is in my stash to be started! However, I purchased the called-for linen, and despise it! I like the linen you used and will be getting that color instead! Gorgeous finish! Hugs!
wow Katrina this is beautiful,what an awesome finish,well done.xx
stunning!
What a gorgeous sampler, Katrina! I love the colors so much and your stitching is lovely...
This is lovely! I don't think I'm brave enough to use 40 count linen! I struggle with 32 count these days. Enjoy using the finer linens while you can still see the holes!
Congratulations on finishing such a beautiful project!!
Just started the same project a few weeks ago...stitching it on Lakeside Vintage Maritime White 36 ct. I'm jealous that you're finished with it...looks great! ~*
I just began the Christmas Garden last weekend so it's really an inspiration to see it finished so beautifully! Congrats!
Eine wunderschöne Arbeit, ich bin ganz begeistert. Tolle Farben und ganz gleichmäßig gestickt. Toll.
Liebe Grüße

Stunning Katrina, what a beautiful finish... I really need to get on with mine now don't I!!
Another gorgeous project Katrina. I
Don't know how you do it on such fine fabric, I sometimes struggle with count 28 even with new glasses. Just start on Joyfulness from Little House Needleworks
Beautiful stitching!
