My Lady's progress...

I have let myself get distracted with other stuff but did put some stitches in My Lady this weekend. I do love the colors (DMC 930/932) and it has been a good stitch. Just need to get busy and get it finished! They all look great and kudos to all of the finishes!

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 :)

Some progress

Hi all~
I have been bad about posting my progress. As you can see I have been stitching on this lovely design quite a bit. Mycolors are not showing up as nicely as they look in person. After seeing all the wonderful color choices for the Lady I am re-thinking how I will do the Gentleman, even though they won't exctly match I think I will use 5+ colors. Thanks for looking! Nancy

A little progress

Hi, everyone. I've made a little progress. I look forward to his appearance.

Happy Stitching :D

a little bit of progress

I've gotten behind as usual...I don't know any other way, it seems. But I do love seeing the progress and finish pics. I hope to get mine done this week if it keeps on raining like it has been :) I think these are all the colors I've settled on; changed my green to dmc 502 and like it much better; also added 754 for flesh and will scatter it here and there instead of white.

happy stitching all from alabama

I caved!

good morning all!
I have been watching this pattern progress from the day I first saw it! I fell in love with it that day, but waited to order. I then went to my son & DIL's house for 10 days, to help my DIL care for their infant triplets. I got home Sat. evening & got caught up around here over the weekend.
I just ordered the pattern & can't wait to see it arrive in my inbox, so that I can start gathering my supplies to join you in stitching!
Thanks for the invitation Amy!!

I've finished!!!

I finished her up this afternoon & I'm very happy with how she turned out. In case anyone is interested in the colors, this is what I used: GAST Cinnamon, Dungarees, Grape Leaf, Crabapple (Limited Edition color), WDW Red Pear & WDW Peach Fuzz (for her arms, face & legs). It's stitched on 32 ct. Antique Ivory Belfast. As you can see, I changed the ABC to my initials & left off the alphabet. I can't wait to get a frame and get her on the wall! It was a fun & fairly quick stitch!!

Lisa's made a start

Hi everyone, my name is Lisa and I've just joined your group. I'm amazed at all the variations of My Lady's Quaker, they're all lovely. I've had mine kitted up for a week now, but have just managed to get some time today to make a small start,

here's my 1st progress picture




I am stitching on 28ct ivory jobelan, with DMC threads. I will try to post updates every weekend, thanks for looking

Meredith's small progress

Hello everyone! Here is a picture of the small amount of progress I've made on My Lady this last week. Hope to get a few more motifs done this weekend (after my son's football game and my daughter's Daisy Scout meeting today and a birthday party tomorrow...you know how it goes!!) All of your pieces are just beautiful!!

Have a great weekend! Meredith

Irmas Progress 2

Here is my progress so far.



I am really enjoying the 3 colors and am wondering if I should even add the fourth darker purple that I had picked out for the alphabet. Hmmmm...going to think on that one a bit. Maybe stitch up a bit of the alpha and see if I like it.

If anyone wants to add the letter "v" to the alphabet, I put information that I think will work here. Scan down until you see my name. Let me know what you think.

Yes, often "J" and "U" were missing on old samplers. "I" and "V" were used instead. You might enjoy reading this article about the "missing" letters.

My Quaker Lady

Hi ~ My name is Lenna.

I am new here I joined Sunday night.

I downloaded my charts and started stitching.

I got the lady stitched yesterday.

I did have to frog part of her skirt outline,

one hand and part of her face

but she is done.

I still have to stitch the flowers in the skirt

and two green areas, also.

I will try and add a photo tonight.

She has been so much fun to stitch.

I plan to stitch the cat

on this one

and the dog on the gentleman's!

I used a hand dyed premium floss. It is thicker

and you only use one strand.

I am using a fabric

I got when Hobby Lobby deleted it.

I bought 2 yards and it came on the bolt.

I have used it for years and it is one of my

favorites.

It is sorta a light beige, grey even weave.

I will list my fibers tonight with the picture.

Thanks for looking I appreciate it so much.

God Bless ~

Here's My Progress

This is my first post. I've been trying to find the right lighting to show off my wonderful linen, but, alas, I guess I'll just have to describe it.....It's called "Grape Icicle." I just love the feel! So soft - no "starch" to it. Imagine when you were a Kid, at a carnival..... it's the same color as "grape" cotton candy!

I'm using WDW Molases, Waterlillies Jade, Au Ver Soie Purple, and GAST Flax so far. I'm thinking that I'll use some sort of "varigated" iris color for The Lady's dress. What do you think? Too many colors?
