I then decided to join Amy's SAL for My Lady's Quaker the other day. At first I was going to use one of these combination's of Belle Soie...
And then I decided to use Cotton Threads to match Monique's version....
And finally I decided to go with Needlepoint Inc. Silk. I'm very happy with my choice (I used NPI 223, 222, 706, 344, 923 and 903). I'm a little concerned about the light peach for the skin. I wondering if it's a little too light??
I have also been working on "Finch Song." I would love to get it finished soon!
The kids had a great week at school. I had a great week enjoying being at home again! Well, the laundry and dishes are calling me! Write soon!
P.S. I have decided not to start Mary Wigham over after all. I think I'm going to use the silks for a completely different project. :)

Nicole, you crack me up I thought I was the most indesisive person around LOL
ReplyDeleteI think your final choice for the Quaker SAL looks great. What color choice are you using on your MW design?
Take Care

Whoa, and I thought I was the only one that went back and forth on a project. I love your WIPs and I don't think that the peach color is too light. I can see it perfectly on my monitor. That is a great SAL to be in - the design is adorable.
ReplyDeleteWelcome home Nicole. The photos of your two older boys in the previous post looks so cute. The boy on the left with 'the look' is that more you or your DH's? I just had to smile when I saw that.
ReplyDeleteWell, I'm looking forward to all the stitching progress, even your eenie-meenie-miney-mo! :-)
everything looks great as usual! I love your eye for color! You do such an amazing job of changing the colors in your projects. Finch song is beautiful!!! Keep plugging away & it will be done!!!!
ReplyDeleteOkay, can I just say I love everything? Seriously, each choice you made for the Quaker was perfect. I don't know how you decided on which one to do! I think the color for the flesh looks good. Finch Song--beautiful! I don't know how much is left on it but it looks great. I also covet your linen. LOL Love the blotchiness! Great stitching--can't see what next week brings for you!
ReplyDeleteNicole, you are just too funny. Your projects always looks stunning! I really like the little Quaker and am thinking of joining the SAL - it would be my first.
ReplyDeleteI really like the Quaker floss choice! I decided to do mine a little different with only 2 colors..Glad you are back home and getting into the routine.. And it looks like Finch is about done singing his song.!lol...Great job Nicole!~~ Faye
ReplyDeleteI love your WIPS...especially Finch Song. I think the peach looks fine. I love seeing all your choices and what you end up deciding on. :)
ReplyDeleteHave a great week!
Looks great to me -- I think the peach skin color is fine. Love all your WIPs. Can't wait to see your Finch Song finish! Glad you're enjoying being home again. :D
ReplyDeleteI love all your projects! I think all the thread colors are lovely! Can't wait to see your finishes :)
ReplyDeleteHave a great week!
Of course, everything is lovely!
ReplyDeleteIt really makes me happy to see all of your different stitches with your different types of threads. I've still never used silk (I can't afford it right now), so it's wonderful to live vicariously through your beautiful work! :)
All your needlework's such great eye candy, Nicole!
ReplyDeleteYour Finch Song is beautiful!
ReplyDeleteI cannot tell you how much your stitching blog inspires me. I want to do the Quaker SAL in all three colorways after seeing your test stitching!
Thank you for keeping up the blog even in the midst of travel and back to school stuff!

They all look lovely, great progress
ReplyDeleteAll of your stitching looks just wonderful! Gorgeous colors!
ReplyDeleteUntil I read this post and its comments, I thought I was the only one who can't make up her mind. I love that I'm not alone.
ReplyDeleteFinch Song is almost fin(i)ched!
Nicole, I like your final choice of colors.
ReplyDeleteGlad the kids had a good week at school.
