      Hello Eileen, I am not sure where your message came onto my screen from 7 years ago but I too do railroading (most of the time) and find it does make a big difference.

    This pattern is 800 Needlework Purse by Primitive Hare. It is on 28 ct. linen. I loved doing this old time pattern. I used instant coffee to age the linen.

    This is Aumoniere: Medieval Pouch by Primitive Hare. This is completely done in cross stitch and is my first attempt at doing gold work. It is stitched on 30 ct. linen. I made the tassels, the draw strings, and backed it and lined it with brown silk.
