I have been busy!!!!

I have been stitching and just not finding the time to post! I have to get better at this! I was amazed that my last post was on the 7th.....

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 !!!!!

I also had another start and finish in just  3 days but as I'm not sure if the recipient reads my blog I will have to withhold on posting the finished pics! 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 .....

Hope everyone is well and I have been reading just not commenting so I truly apologize and hope to comment soon! All of your works are beautiful!!!!!

I am grateful for stitching and the joy it brings an for the may friends I've made beacause of stitching.....

May your needle fly through your fabric....

A lazy day....

I am back with my most recent updates. It seems like the last few days I have been stitching non-stop!!!!! So enjoy the pictures!!! First is Thriller© by Sampler Cove ........

I am really enjoying the flow on this one! I changed the colors to Pagoda red and India Ink by Thread Gatherer...the color is more Halloweeny to me...here's a close-up

Next is My Lady's Quaker © by Jardin Prive . I seem to be focusing all of my efforts on her this weekend....and a close-up of the Lady I decided to do her all in one color...Cupid by Crescent Colors on a French Latte 32ct linen...one small problem did arise even with 3skeins...15 yards I may not have enough....and the dyelots of the newer skeins aren't  match but I didn't panic....here's my solution....I'm doing the alphabet in 815 by DMC an almost perfect match minus the overdyed effect!!! So I am happy once again!!!!!! I've only been at her a week or so and am loving her. I even feel in love with her partner My Gentleman's Quaker so I ordered him today...I'm thinking an overdyed blue for him......

I am grateful for solutions....

May your needle fly through your fabric.........
