Rose Quaker Sampler Framed!

I decided to frame this with gold painted frame, maroon soft board with non-reflective glass. 

And yes, the maroon soft board with gold lining, so that the red or brown color motifs stand out perfectly!

Rose Quaker Sampler Finished!

The Rose Quaker Sampler is finished! I'm so glad it has to be done! ::phew:: It is a real Ta-Dah moment! What a gorgeous piece.

Rose Quaker Sampler Part 3

I have made some major progress on this piece and I hopefully finish it up in the next couple of days. Looking at the BIG FROG in the middle of it makes me feel sick. I have to work harder, to clear this frog out of my view!

Write soon!

Rose Quaker Sampler Part 2

I worked on Rose Quaker Sampler quite a little bit over the weekend.....I have been frogging quite a lot, that's slow down my progress. However, I would like to re-stitch my main mistake at the end. 

Sorry for the wrinkles, I don't want to keep ironing the fabric before taking photo. The bottle that placed on top of the fabric is my Totally Useless. Somehow I feel satisfied seeing the bottle is filled. 

A token of love....

Rose Quaker Sampler

I couldn't resist stitching Rose Quaker from Stickideen von der Wiehenburg after reading from Hearty Tones. This is my first time stitching on 40ct linen, it is uneasy since I have been stitching on 32ct for so long. But it is fun and the outcome is so gorgeous. I'm stitching this over 2 on 40ct Lambswool Linen from Wichelt using 1 strand of the DMC listed on the chart.

Oh well.....I did not have a good start. I did not differentiate between symbol Celtic and Cross clearly, hence I stitched it wrongly :(  No wonder the design did not stand out as it should.

Beside Rose Quaker, I also stitched another simpler design by Bent Creek, Autumn Row. The pumpkins look very cute. However, I ran out of DMC 310 Black, will try to finish it up after getting 310 today.

Happy stitching!

Arrived

It's amazingly fast! I received my orders today, which I ordered online a week ago.


They are Rose Quaker Sampler by Stickideen von der Wiehenburg and buttons by Just Another Button. The buttons are actually for Valentine Medley by Heart in Hand Neddleart, which I had finished stitching long time ago. I will post the completed projects with the buttons very soon.


It is my first time to purchase design by Wiehenburg. The pattern is endorsed with green stamping and gold signature. It feels so personal to me.
