Quaker Christmas

Just wanted to post my start of Quaker Christmas. This is the first large project that I am attempting. This took me a day and a half to do.

This was a gift from my very dear friend Rae Ann from Ca . so I am hoping for a very good finish to this. I am enjoying it very much. I am stitchingit with Carrie Creation hand dye floss. I never used hand dyed floss before, and I really like it. Who knows maybe out with DMC. The hand dyed floss works very nicely.

I am hoping to have this done before Christmas. So keep your fingers crossed for me that I will make it in time. I do fight with the fabric alot as I do not use scroll or Q-snaps, I seem to fight with them more. Please feel free to leave comments.

Thanks Rae Ann for such a lovely gift. hope you will be pleased as much as me when it is finished. You truly are a dear friend. God Bless you.

Hello,

Had to share this with you. received this beautiful package from Emily from my I Love Crossstitch Group. She sent me si charms, seven lovely green threads and an aewsome piece of Quaker Linen in Colonial Blue. Blue just happens to be my favorite color. Just days before receiving this package I found a piece to stitch that was done on colonial blue aida fab. Do you think her spirit was here wacthing me read that magazine? I DO. LOL.

Now I have the task of searching for the right item to stitch on it. I was thinking a nice scenery or sampler. What do you think. Help me to decide. Thanks again Emily.

Happy Stitchin To All

This is first finish for 2010,and also my first pin cushion. It wasn't intended to be a pin cushion,but I was excited that I sewed both pieces in only four hours and couldn't wait to get it sewn, I sewed it wrong. It firgures only me this could happen to. At least I got my first finish. LOL. This is a SAL project too from my stitches and stuff group. Hope you can see it well, I am pretty new at this blogging too. Happy Stitchin Ruth

Hi There,

These are photos of my Biscornu SAL, which is the first I one I have ever made, and also a block of the month SAl on one of my stitching groups (Stitches and Stuff). We only started the block of the month in March, so everyone was stitching like crazy to get it up to date. It is such a fun project to do. I am having a blast doing it. Hope you enjoyed seeing my work. Will keep you up to date. Happy Stitchng. Ruth
