From the pictures you would never know I touched up Dorothy with the iron. Groan! The first two photos were taken in sunlight.
How about a close-up?
The wrinkles hardly show with indoor lighting.
I am trying to stitch from my stash, so the fabric is something labeled Country French, 32 count, and the floss is DMC. The fabric called for was 40 count, but alas I didn't have anything in my stash that worked with the DMC colors.
With the extra framing fabric at the top and bottom, Dorothy is - gasp - a YARD long.
She's going to be a beauty!

A yard long! So just a little slip of a thing! I'm glad you posted because now I can remember to tell you I finally stitched that ornament kit you made for me!
That's one seriously long sampler! It will be fun seeing her grow :)
Gorgeous!!!!!! She's on my list :-).
Beautiful! Let's see some more pictures please!
Dorothy is looking gorgeous, great progress
Gorgeous start! Dorothy is one of my favorite samplers!
Well, at a yard long, you have me beat. I just posted about my latest finish -- Yes! A finish AND a blog post! Can you believe it? -- but mine was "only" 26 inches by 8 inches. Let's see . . . you posted in January, and I'm just reading this in April. Have you finished it yet? :-) (Sorry, I couldn't resist asking.) Can't wait to see this beauty when you DO finish it!
