Quaker Strawberry kitted up

noreply@blogger.com (Dolci Fusa) — Thu, 08 Sep 2022 13:10:00 +0000

This is my choice for the Quaker Christmas ornaments SAL: Quaker Strawberry by Blackbird Designs, from JCS Christmas Issue 2006. I've chosen a Silkweaver lugana opalescent colour Jamaica Sparkle, but I'm undecided about the silk thread. Can you help me to choose one?

Thank you in advance,

Tulip Manor

Hello stitchers,

I've started it yesterday, this is my progress.

I stitch using one strand of floss over two threads.

I really love to stitch this lovely pattern!

Fabric: 32 ct Belfast linen "French Vanilla Swirl" from Silkweaver.

Hugs,

Hedgehog Quaker

noreply@blogger.com (Dolci Fusa) — Thu, 08 Sep 2022 13:05:00 +0000

Questo è il mio primo soggetto quaker. Si tratta di un freebie di The Workbasket; l'ho ricamato con due fili di Belle Soie Kiwi di Crescent Colours su lino Cashel 28 count colore Fern di Silkweaver.
La mia intenzione è di ricamare altri alimali quaker in futuro; ho già adocchiato il Mouse, realizzato superbamente da Niki, e il Cat.

Hedgehog Quaker, freebie by The Workbasket, stitched with Crescent Colours Belle Soie Kiwi on 28ct Cashel linen Fern from Silkweaver.
My purpose is to stitch other quaker animals; I think the next one will be the Cat, but I also love the Mouse, superbly stitched by Niki.

Mail Art

noreply@blogger.com (Jennifer) — Thu, 28 May 2015 20:15:00 +0000

Inspired by my friend Martina, I decided to create some mail art. Most mail art I've seen it's done with scrapbook papers and paints and little embellishments. Of course mine isdone in cross stitch. This is 22 count hand-dyed aida and some Hobby Lobby brand over-dyed floss. The motifs are from " Mon Ami Pierre". It will get a grey satin long and then off it goes in the mail!

Finally Some Stitching Done

noreply@blogger.com (Jennifer) — Sat, 08 Mar 2014 20:47:00 +0000

At last I post again after a long absence. I have been stitching all along, but have neglected the blogs for a while. I finished Workbasket "Quaker Reindeer" in DMC variegated reds #115.

Another I have worked on for quite some time is Goode Huswife "Bee Skep". I followed the pattern using DMC floss but changed the initials called for at the top into a bee motif instead.

Hey, is anybody stitching?

noreply@blogger.com (EvalinaMaria) — Sun, 07 Jul 2013 21:52:00 +0000

I surely was! I just finished my M. Quertier 1799

Now I can go back to my Songs of the Season:

So long my friends,

Hello from the North of 60

This is how it will look when done

and that's my progress:

So long my friends,

It has Been a Long Month.............

noreply@blogger.com (Sue) — Sat, 17 Dec 2011 18:30:00 +0000

Hello everyone; November was a long month for me; and December is flying by so fast. I have been busy with my groups and I also accepted a temporary job assignment at my former job; the one I retired from four years ago. While the income is wonderful, I miss my time and home and my stitching and crafting.

Hopefully, later this weekend I will post a photo of the ornaments I made for one of my groups. They are a bit different; some stitching involved, but not a lot.

I will also post some of the photos of many gifts I have received from lots of my stitching friends. All of them are just gorgeous. I am planning my stitching goals for the upcoming year and have lots on my plate once again. I have a Lizzie Kate SAL I will be finishing (yes, Meari!!); I am going to do another SAL with Angie called Lavender Blue; it is just beautiful! In between my SALs I will be doing my Prairie Schoolers, Lizzie Kates and many other charts which I have just fallen in love with over the last year.

I hope that all my stitching friends are staying well; there is a lot of illness going around her in VA; lots of pneumonia and different strains of flu. I sure do hope I can avoid them; I did get the flu shot and the pneumonia shot, because of my history of asthma and bronchitis.

I do want to wish you all a very Merry Christmas and a very Happy, Healthy and Safe New Year! If you do not celebrate Christmas, you enjoy whatever holiday it is that you observe!!!

BIG HUGS,

Sue

Quaker Snail?

noreply@blogger.com (Jennifer) — Fri, 11 Nov 2011 19:28:00 +0000

Does anyone know where I can find/purchase a chart of a Quaker-style snail, similar to the Workbasket series of animals?

D Cockin sampler update

noreply@blogger.com (Cristina) — Sun, 03 Jul 2011 17:27:00 +0000

Here's how D Cockin looks at the moment. I'm still very much into it and don't feel like stitching anything else until it's finished.
Thank you for your kind comments.

An update on my Deborah Cockin sampler

noreply@blogger.com (Cristina) — Wed, 22 Jun 2011 08:33:00 +0000

Here is my progress of D Cockin. I'm enjoying to stitch it very much.
In some of the medallions, I found some mistakes made by D, which reminded me it was a piece stitched by a very young girl and somehow those mistakes made me realize I'm stitching something that is timeless and real.
The pics are a bit greyish, but next time I hope I can show better ones.
Enjoy your stitching.

Mary back in business!

noreply@blogger.com (Unknown) — Sun, 03 Oct 2010 20:43:00 +0000

It's been a long time since any of us have posted - where is everyone?

Anyway, I've almost finished part one of Mary Wigham, after a bit of frogging as I did not like the colour of the sort of Tudor Rose motif in the pale blue I had chosen - now in pale lilac and think it's much better.

A-tisket a Tasket

I always forget to share with you guys the quakers pieces I finished :(. Here is my last one from the book "Honeysuckle " from BBD

The design is called "A tisket -A tasket" that I finish it like a small pocket, made for the BBD exchange round 5.

Mary Wigham

noreply@blogger.com (Marjo) — Wed, 25 Aug 2010 03:37:00 +0000

A little more progress on the lovely Mary Wigham. I am using the Belle Soie conversion by Jean Lea at The Attic. I love the colors. It is on 45 count fabric which has taken me a while to get used to but am loving it. Marjo

Working on Mary WIgham

noreply@blogger.com (Marjo) — Mon, 31 May 2010 18:30:00 +0000

Finally back to her after a poor start. She is in the rotation and I will be working on her every Sunday. Stitching along with a Quaker. She is done on Vintage Buttercream by Lakeside Linens using the Attic's Conversion to Belle Soie. I am hoping to get more done today so I can say I have done more than just start.
