Sotema

 I like watching YouTube videos by Katie Strachan. She shows the caskets she has made. She really like linen in the color Russian Teacakes. She had a giveaway of that linen. I entered but I didn't win. I thought I would buy some. I looked on the Needle in a Haystack site and they listed the Russian Teacakes color. Then I saw they had a sampler of four colors of this kind of linen, So I ordered the sampler. When it came in the mail I found out that it is Sotema Linen.  Hey, not to brag or anything, I've been to the Sotema place.  It is in Italy. We stopped there on the Italian needlework tour. I bought a bunch of linen when I was there but I didn't happen to have bought any in the Russian Teacakes color.

Russian Teacakes is the third one down, very creamy color. I also ordered a yard of it but Needle in a Haystack has it back ordered. One lady on our tour got enough of the linen to make herself a dress. I bet that cost her a pretty penny. The linen I got was 37 count.

My BFF sent me some Manor Red thread so I can finish Come to the Garden. Thanks BFF!
