Another Anne Jerlow kimono has turned up on eBay. This one is labeled "Kimono 4" and is on 13 count. The design itself is 14 inches square according to the eBay seller. Keeping with my practice of capturing images of this dead artist's designs, I am posting a photo here. Her six geishas which I stitched for the ANG Auction in 2007 are an iconic image that I use periodically here on Blog.
Let's hope this one finds a good home!

UPDATE: This eBay sale ended early because "this canvas is no longer available for sale." Makes me wonder what happened. I've never seen a canvas pulled like this unless it was of something someone objected to, like class instructions which a teacher didn't want sold because the instructions wouldn't be enough to stitch a piece without the teacher's comments in class. Very odd! Well, I'm glad we at least got to see this Anne Jerlow. By the way, the seller of this canvas has a Princely design that he/she says is also by Anne Jerlow. Here's the photo. The eBay sale link is under the photo.

I love them!
Ooooo! Thank you, Good Lookin!
By the way, I looked at your Etsy shop. It appears both canvases are on 18 count mono needlepoint canvas.
Oh thanks! That's what I thought, but I couldn't find any other example of 18 count, so I was confused. Thanks again.
What you do is count the number of threads in an inch long line. If you get 18 (roughly, needlepoint canvas isn't always quite true), it is 18 count. All the Anne Jerlow designs I've seen have been on 18 or 13 count needlepoint canvas, so this is almost certainly 18 count. I counted 18 threads from your pictures which you helpfully included.
