What size is cloth and how many squares per inch?

The design stitch count is around 211 x 285. Nora? Starting her own company? Can't see Mirabilia not wanting more fairies.

This pattern required 32 chesnut linen and the size is 6.59W X 8.81H plus pale rose petals & glitttering beads. Just do not forget to leave 4 inches for framing so it it will 10.59W X 12.81 H. Good luck and have fun

JHewes: I've been seeing her name in lieu of Miriabila lately. What's going on? I still love the fairies and mermaids. I'll still buy from either (if they are parting ways). I thought they were one.

Thank you for your help. I just love this pattern, but the 32 count is too small for me now. Is there a conversion chart somewhere that I can convert it to a 18 count? Thank you in advance.

Yes you can do this on 18ct. The stitch count is 211 x 282 stitches. If you do it on 18ct. Just divide the stitch count by 18. On 18ct. the finished size would be 11 3/4 inches x 15 3/4 inches. Don't forget to add 3 inches per side when deciding what size fabric to purchase.

18-ct is smaller. You would nornally stitch 32-ct over 2 threads, making it the same as 16-ct.

jl, don't tell me the patterns will be going out of print. I had big plans. Should I buy the patterns now? I've bought in "bulk" before with Wentzler and now have zero interest in her patterns. Is this a marketing ploy with these companies?

Speaking of patterns I have to trace my Garden of Delight order. I can hardly wait. Neiman Marcus gets my stuff here more quickly these days.

Had a rough day and wanted to find my stuff in the mail. I had to buy a new washer/dryer. It was supposed to have been delivered in the am. I called several times and no one knew where the items were. I got at least three different versions. At 4 pm, when my whole day was shot, they finally arrived and installed them. Oh well. I think I'll stitch for a while and drink several bottles of Perrier to drown my frustration. Before I do that, I'll order the laying tool!
I think DH's hearing is going. He says that I elide, speak too low, turn my head when I speak to him and the TV volume is so high that the entire neighborhood can hear.

She has a very cute face but the contrast of the skin tones is quite noticeable or is it me?

Tex, ditto on TW. I only kept one. Why worry about 1 OP, when there are / will be dozens more you will like & buy?

Exactly, jl.
