Working with linen

I have a new cross-stitch to do, this one also being an Isabelle Haccourt Vautier, entitled "Sampler des 4 Saisons".

Gathering the supplies

All the cross-stitches I have previously completed have been done on Aida, so this will be my first cross-stitch worked on linen. I have a piece of 32 count Belfast Linen -colour Dirty- to work this design on, and hope that it will go well.

So far, the cross-stitch seems to be going well, although I am finding that I am working slower than I did on the previous project.
