My Lady's Quaker is done and she is so pretty and with lots of attitude if I do say so myself!!!! I stitched her on 32ct Country French Latte and used Crescent Colors Cupid!!! Just one color I love monochromatic designs but I had 3 skeins which I thought was enough but even with being a miser with the thread I wa short and the dyelots at my LNS wer way too bright! Two friends even looked in their stash and had some but still too bright...is this post sounding like Goldilocks to anyone else....haha. I went to DMC 815 and it was a near perfect match!!! I used almost an entire skein and I don't believe you can tell where at al! big sigh of relief from me a a prayer to the thread gods was offered! I was truly very lucky!!!!! Here goes with pictures....
Don't you just adore the hands on the hips and her wonderfully bizarre hair!!! These quaker designs are so beautiful in their simplicity....I am quickly becoming addicted to them..In addition to Quaker Christmas which has a November 1st start I added Quaker virtues to my stash and have the silk thread on order.....just 17 skeins should complete it....Now to find a way to work it in....haha
Thanks for looking She was stitched in about 3 weeks time more so because of the thread issue but really I simply could not put her down.....The Gentleman is on the short list to start !!!!!

But I promise to post as soon as she receives it!!!
I am wiped from work today so I'm off to get a cup of tea and cuddling time with puppy......then maybe some stitching .....

ReplyDeleteLove My Lady's Quaker! Congratulations on your finish! She is beautiful. I love your fabric and thread choices. I keep seeing this design being stitched on blogs and I am about to cave and order both her and her gentleman friend, I think. :) Can't wait to see your Quaker Christmas start. I have that one languishing in my WIP pile. It is a very pretty design.
