Finally, a finish!

Went to Stitcher's Paradise on Wednesday for a supply run & got some much needed floss to finish up the current WIP. I finished it yesterday during a Law & Order: SVU marathon. I decided to skip the alphabet that surrounds the design, as I really didn't think it added anything to the overall design. That, and I really did not feel like stitching the alphabet this time around. :P



At any rate, here it is, at long last....a finish :)



Design: October Quaker from the leaflet Quaker Evens


Designer: The Workbasket


Fabric: 32 count linen in Golden Maple by Fleur de Luce Hand Dyeds


Fiber Used: Crescent Colours hand dyed cotton in German Chocolate

I also put some time in on the 1692 piece I started in the meantime. This one is going very quickly and I like how it is coming together:



Design: Salem Witch


Designer: Lisa Roswell of The Primitive Needle


Fabric: 28 count linen in Legacy by Picture This Plus


Fibers: Crescent Colours Belle Soie silk in Old Crow.


Stitcher's notes: One strand of floss over two threads. Substituted the called for Lasagna for Carrot Cake.

Well, I best be off. Tons to do today! Hope everyone is having a great week! :)

October Quaker and Salem Witch

Well, I seem to be stitching a bit more, which is good, considering the amount of stash I have :P. The first WIP I have is the October Quaker from The Workbasket . I won't be able to finish it until tomorrow or the day after, as I made a huge error and had to frog out a large section, thus resulting in running out of floss. I am going to Stitcher's Paradise tomorrow for a supply run. I won't be able to stay to stitch, as I am now working on Wednesdays :(. Sucks to be me, but I have a job and it pays fairly well.


At any rate, here is what I have so far. Almost finished, yay!

I started a new WIP last night while watching the old Jeremy Brett Sherlock Holmes via Netflix. I love Mr. Brett in this series and I never get tired of watching the Granada produced Sherlock Holmes.


Here is the wee bit I managed to get in before bed:


Design: Salem Witch


Designer: Lisa Roswell of The Primitive Needle


Fabric: 28 count linen in Legacy by Picture This Plus


Fibers: Crescent Colours Belle Soie silk in Old Crow.



***Stitcher's note: Stitched one strand of silk over two threads.






Well, I need bolt for the door. Lots to do before work today. Hope everyone is having a great day!

October Quaker

Well, I have managed to make a wee bit of progress on my newest WIP, albeit not very much. I am hoping to work on it some more today as we were not busy at work at all and I am not very tired. I'm really liking this color combination, although, next time I am going to have to try an opalescent instead. :)


At any rate, here's what I have so far:


Design: October Quaker from the leaflet Quaker Evens

Fiber Used: Crescent Colours hand dyed cotton in German Chocolate

Well, I best be off for now. Hope everyone is having a wonderful week! :)
