Before
After - 40 ct. Vintage Examplar, Belle Soie silks Cranberry and Collard Greens.
The pictures look so different because it was overcast on the day that I took the first picture and it's sunny today.
I also got a little paypal money, so I got a small package from Down Sunshine Lane. I got the fabric (30 ct. Old Mill Java by R&R) for Blackbird Designs "Keepsake Box and Pinkeep."
I also got this sweet little chart, "Love Letters" by With Thy Needle & Thread. I pulled some fabric and the DMC. The fabric is 29 ct. Natural Glenshee.
I'm so amazed at the response I've gotten so far for the drawing. Thank you everyone for your very, very kind comments! I appreciate them all! :)
Quaker is excellent!
ReplyDeleteQC looks fantastic so far. I love the color combo. Great new stash Nicole. Both of those are on my list of "to buy"

This quaker is beautiful.
ReplyDeleteI love the colors.
Nicole, you are just amazing! QC looks fantastic!
ReplyDeleteI have a question. It seems you get your projects together with such ease. Makes me think about how organized you must be. How do you organize your stash? I'm afraid to say, my collection is a mess, and I need to devote some time to changing that situation, even though I hate to take time away from my stitching. I know it would be worth it in the long run. I hope you will share you organization secrets.
Quaker Christmas looks so good. I also love your next projects, the pictures make me want to start something new as well. The With Thy Needle adn Thread project looks so lovely, I think I must have that one, too. A new-to-me designer.
ReplyDeleteYour Quaker Christmas is beautiful, Nicole. I love the colors you chose. Love the stash, too! It's all such eye candy!
