What a great weekend I had! Such beautiful weather, visiting with friends, family and of course stitching!!!! I have to first let you know that Maria had a back burner seat this weekend, but I have an updated pic for all of you.
She is moving along just beautifully, and for all the fear I had about the satin stitch, it is not as difficult as I was expecting! From the over 3 side, and all the frogging, I would be happy to do the satin stitch again any time. I hope to have the bottom done in the next few days, then it is on to the dreaded aztec stitch!!!!!
So, what did I stitch on this weekend? Well, rather I stitched yesterday-- Let me remind you of where I was on the Quaker Friendship piece--
And this is where I ended last night:
Now-- should explain the title for this blog post!!!! I was planning on stitching in order of starts, but you know how easy that can be adjusted!!!! I had this wip in the same project bag as Maria, and I kept seeing it and seeing it. I figured this weekend it had to be put to bed. This is called the Quaker Friendship by Goode Huswife. Stitched on 36ct Flax Fields by R & R Reproductions along with Coffee Bean Gloriana silk thread. 2 over 2. I always choose 2 strands for 36ct, I prefer the way it looks-- more coverage. I am excited to have another finish out of the crazy January challenge under my belt and 1 less WIP!!!!!! YEAH!!!!!! I might even have another one done this week........ I am keeping my fingers crossed!!!!
Happy Monday :)

Both pieces are beautiful!!!! Love everything fron Goode Huswife!! Plus it is fun to get a finish when you are also working on a very big sampler!!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful pieces! Congrats on your finish!
ReplyDeleteJust found you! Goode Huswife is (was) by fav designer. Loved her old designs. I have this pattern and just haven't done it yet. I first saw it hanging on the wall in the shop that I frequent. The owner had received it from a friend. Finally found the pattern...someday I will get it done!!.......Bonnie in TX
