Yesterday I showed the linen I’ll probably use for Smith Sampler and called it splotchy. It’s actually Legacy by Picture This Plus. It’s the one on the left.
Last night I was watching a flosstube with Lori Holt and Kristy from Crosshatch Quilts. Kristy is using that same linen for a project. If you go to this flosstube and advance to about the 53:00 point, you’ll see it.
After seeing her project, I think I’m sure that’s what I’m going to use!

I like the “splotchy” linen! Gives it more depth and interest
Judy Laquidara says
I probably would not have ordered that piece of linen for Smith Sampler but I think it’s perfect. I’m glad you like it!

This reminds of me moda marbles versus solid colored cotton fabric for quilting. I think the splotchy color will add interest to the background of the cross stitch piece.
Judy Laquidara says
Yes! And I loved Moda Marbles for so many years.

That is just what i was thinking — the splotchy will definitely add interest. Hopefully it won’t overshadow it, though.
