My New Found Love of Osnaburg

I have thought and thought about what fabric old timers used for stitcheries and have come up brain dead.LOL I know it is some kind of linen but can't find one that is as thin as the doilies that I find at sales.
Well I came across a pattern similar to this runner in Create and Decorate and had to have one for my dining table. And the directions said to use a porous fabric. So once again I put on my thinking cap and the only fabric I could think of was osnaburg and I LOVE it!!
I coffee stained me some up and freehand drew this vine design on the fabric and stitched it with hunter green. It's not finished yet but I just couldn't wait to show you the results. To me this looks just like something you would find in an old attic. When I get the flowers on it, I will post a pic of the finished product. For now, see what you think.

A Word of Thanks

First, I would like to say that I am computer illiterate and without the help of a few good friends, I would not have been able to have this blog.
I would like to thank Sage of Sagewood Farms for the many hours she spent teaching me how to open a blog.
I would also like to thank Brenda from Hattie's Workshop for the awesome banner that she made me.
I am grateful to Judy of Primfolks by Judy, Susan from Threadbare Primitives and Donna from Moonchild's Primitives for giving me permission to use the products that I have made from their patterns to display in my banner.
And lastly, I would like to thank all my friends from Prim Sister's Talk Radio Gathering Room who have had the patience to teach me what all the computer language means and for giving me ideas on primitive creating.
I have found that there are so many people in the primitive community that are willing to help beginners get started and for that I am very grateful. Thanks everone!
