This is a quote written by Edgar Allan Poe with a worm I drew and stitched. My model is stitched on a 40 ct Osnaburg fabric. I don't know what Osnaburg is, I found a remnant at JoAnn's shortly before they went out of business. The remnant I bought was a little expensive but when I went back and found a newer bolt of the same fabric it was only like 7 to 9 dollars a yard. I think it is a linen. I stitched this using 1 strand over two full cross. I used a variegated red floss.

Finish size varies depending on fabric choice - this is shown as a virtual finish - the stitching is real but the frame is generated ai - I stitched it but didn't fully finish it (I rarely fully finish my work unless it's a gift)
