Hey Arliss. I live on the SE boarder of Minnesota in Rochester, so it's about a 5 hour drive to Fargo for me (boohoo!). There are no stitchy shops within 100 miles of me so I have to order everything online, which makes it difficult for me to pick out fabrics.

I've ordered some aida (hasn't arrived yet) but don't know if I'm going to like stitching on it or not...we'll see how it goes. My eyesight is getting worse and I'm getting headaches from stitching on linen, particularly higher counts of linen, so I'm looking for options that would be easier for me. All of my pieces have been done on various kinds of linen or cashel, but I've never used Laguna. How do you like it?
