The Lady and Gentleman Are Finished

I finally finished "A Gentleman's Quaker," and I am really happy with how he turned out.

I will post a picture when they are both framed and hung on the wall.

Thank you for this totally fabulous SAL, I really enoyed it!

Mystery Solved

After a morning of playing "Sherlock Holmes," I figured out the mystery "brown."

It is DMC 420, yay!

I am back in stitches and rolling along once again.

Thanks for listening, and sorry for the interruption!

Whoa Nelly

Wel, l I am proud to say that I am 3/4 of the way finished with the Gentleman, however a bit of a tragedy has befallen him, well me, I ran out of my "brown" and cannot find where I wrote down the DMC color! I have searched everywhere, and sadly as I recalled posting my color list here, I changed them along the way and never noted the new numbers. I even made the choice to purchase my floss at Michael's instead of online so I don't even have a record of the purchase, oh dearie me!

How do you all keep track of your project history, such as the fiber and floss that you use along with a certain pattern?

I know I will figure out the missing color as I have narrowed it down, but for the time being my stomach knot has tightened.

On a happy note, I must say that everyone's progress and finishes are fantastic! You are all so very talented, and you all inspire me :)

Sorry for the rant, I hope no one minds, but I figured you all would be able to relate :)

A Start On A Gentleman

I started "A Gentleman" this weekend, and here is my progress. I chose to work him in the exact same fabric and colors as my Lady. I had a real hard time deciding on the color combination for his clothes, but this is what I ended up with....as it coordinated well with The Lady's dress.

I am enjoying working on him as much as the Lady, what a great artist Nathalie is.

Thanks again, Petra and Amy :)

I Finished

I finished the Lady.

I really enjoyed this project and cannot wait to start her gentleman. I loved my color scheme and even brought in GAST "Dungarees" for the alphabet, which I am glad that I decided to include.

I am loving everyone's progress and colors :)

More Progress

On My Lady


I am still loving this project, and I am leaning towards adding the Alphabet, but I am curious if anyone else finds the missing "v" odd?

:)

Great progress and finishes ladies!

My Lady's Progress

I am so impressed by everyone's gorgeous variations of the same pattern, it's like being in a restaurant and seeing how wonderful all the plates that go by you look, waiting for your own dinner to arrive. :)

Here is my progress so far:

This pattern is really nice and relaxing to work with, thanks again to Amy and Petra for choosing this project for the SAL...great choice!

I am happy with my colors, as I switched them up a bit and added mauve, so now they go nicely with the colors in my home.

Great progress everyone :)

Ready To Get Started

I am so excited, I have chosen my fabric and my floss, and I am ready to begin stitching.

I am using fabric and floss from my stash, and will be stitching on 32 count Antique White Belfast Linen, using the following DMC floss: #754, #895, #826, #355, #301. I love Amy's layout of how she will use her colors, so I am going to follow that...I hope that's alright :)

Thank you so much, Amy and Petra!

Happy Stitches Everyone!
