Thanks for the advice, Mary! I will be extra careful with the trees. 😊 Your comment about the Danish flower thread has made me very curious. I think I’m going to have to try it. I’ve admired it in the work of Gerda Bengtsson.
Did I understand correctly—you used one strand of the flower thread for this type of pattern? Do you think it provided adequate coverage? Did you work with linen or Aida? I gravitate toward Aida I wonder if these patterns would come out all right on Aida?
Your comment about the hunt for a pattern being like a sport made me smile. When I’m looking for
something specific like this it feels like a treasure hunt and I hate to give up or be thwarted by a lack of results. Funny how that search can drive you to keep looking.
Thank you again for your help and advice concerning these patterns! Linda
