It is 2:15AM as I am writing this on Wednesday morning, and I have been up since 5AM Tuesday morning. Why? I have had a lot on my mind the last few days, getting excited for the weeks ahead, and the time change hasnt helped either. I finished stitching her about 15 minutes ago, dug out the iron and board, and thrilled to present Mary Wigham as a complete sampler. What do you think?!! Yeah!! I had my 2nd wind about 12 hours ago, and I think I am on my 24th :). Mary was stitched using NPI on 40ct Pearled Barley Lakeside Linens.
This is the 4th Quaker that I have finished this year, my mistake in the previous post as I mentioned only 3 (Forgiveness, Mouline Rouge, Beatrix Potter and now Mary). I am happy to have her off the WIP, and can not wait to get onto something else. Not that I dont love Quaker samplers, I just need more variety!
I have a few in mind, and I have to order some silk this week, because I am missing a few from my newly organized stash. Silk and a few other items perhaps......
I have put Mary to bed, and I am soon to follow! Thanks for your comments, it is definately a highlight!

ReplyDeleteYou are a stitching dyanmo! Many happy congratulations and big pats on the back for this gorgeous piece! :)
Congratulations! Mary is beautiful. Hope you are able to get much well-deserved rest today. Blessings to you from Lexington, KY. kelley
ReplyDeleteWow! So beautiful! Congrats on the finish! I have 3 Quakers finished. Mouline Rouge is one of those "let's start it again" projects that I'm starting to think will never get finished. I'd love to do Forgiveness as well. And Beatrix and Mary1 :D
ReplyDeleteCongratulations! She is just beautiful - what a huge accomplishment to have finished so many this year. Can't wait to see what you do next!
ReplyDeleteWhat a fantastic finish! Mary looks wonderful. I can't believe that you burned the midnight oil for so long on this, but it was worth all the lost sleep (the time change has done that to me too, but I haven't been near as productive). Congratulations! Can't wait to see what you stitch next.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on the beautiful finish! She is lovely. I'm so impressed.

It is truly a beautiful piece. I hope to start her soon as well. It is always a sense of accomplishment when you finish a WIP, and really fun to start something new!! Congrats!!
ReplyDeleteI think that is quite an accomplishment to finish 4 quakers in 1 year. Mary turned out very nice. I'll be watching to see what you decide to do next.
ReplyDeleteMary is absolutely stunning! You did a beautiful job stitching her! Congratulations on a spectacular finish!
ReplyDeleteWow. I can believe it, but oh my stars! So much work.
ReplyDeleteWowza! Mary is gorgeous.
ReplyDeleteCongrats! on a piece that will be cherished in the years to come.
Impressive as always. I knew once you picked it up again it would be done in no time. So how is the whitework sampler coming? L.
ReplyDeleteShannon, you have so much energy...care to bottle some of it up and send my way? I love your Mary Wigham, she is elegantly beautiful! And wow, to the four quaker finishes, that is a major accomplishment and none of them small either!! So glad you have this one behind you and I can't wait to see what you choose to work on next!
ReplyDeleteCongrats on an absolutely fabulous finish!! Mary looks just beautiful!! YGG!!
ReplyDeleteWOW! You've done it again, girlfriend. Such an inspiration you've been. You're keeping me on track with Tyler's Lion! Let me and Brandy know when you're ready to start our "joint" project, Birds and Bees! Luv ya, Tamra
