I have stitched it on 36ct raw linen and its 1/1, I had such fun doing this and I have used Kalluund silk thread in fireglow. I also used the same thread to make the cord around the outer edge and the half tassel. This was such a small design I thought that I would make it into a floss ring tag. I hope that Amy was pleased with it, the poor love had also been my partner for the Christmas exchange, when I sent her a Shepherds Bush little ornie.
Thankyou all so much for your kind and truely wonderful comments about my guest room - Yes if you ever fancy a visit to the Lakes and a trip to Fobbles - get in touch, I always like to meet fellow stitchers!
I have also been asked a few times as to where I got 'my words' from - well they are from here: http://www.wisedecor.com/index.html its a lovely site, but I hasten to add if you order to the UK you will get stung by customs - my customs bill was almost the same as to what I spent on the words.
I'll be missing for a few days as I am off to visit Mum and Dad, should be back Sunday or Monday with new stitching to show - Have a great weekend!!

A delicate treasure - I love it :)
This is truly lovely Su, and I think it's very clever to stitch part of this sampler and make a floss tag, and a gorgeous floss tag at that! Amy is very lucky to have been your exchange recipient twice! I'm sure she is thrilled.
Have a nice visit with your Mum and Dad, and have a very enjoyable weekend!

It's lovely! I'm curious how you get the metal circle (the proper name is totally escaping me at the moment) in the linen so perfectly?
Oh, I admired this floss tag on Amy's blog. You sent such a lovely Valentine's exchange!
