The Gay Ann mentioned is Gay Ann Rogers.  Ann the blogger does a lot of model stitching for Gay Ann.  Here is her website, which is a wonderful one when it comes to learning about design and techniques.

When my stitching evolved into cross stitch and embroidered samplers, I stitched on linen quite often. I really enjoyed it, although it is quite different from canvas. I love some of the lovely colors and overdyes now available in linen; I just don't have the time to add that into my stitching rotation.
