My latest progress - getting there!

Thought I'd post a picture of where I'm at. I just have one more small motif to do near the lady's feet and then I'm doing all the alphabet rows. Hoping to get it done this week as I want to start something new on Nov 1st. My lighting is not the best - taken at night. :)

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 :)

My Lady is finished..

I finish her a couple days ago. Now to get her framed up. The Gentleman will have to wait for a little while.



I look forward to seeing the other finishes!

Finished!

I got My Lady's Quaker finished last night! I'm very happy with how it turned out!

I ended up changing the skin color again - three times a charm right? I went with NPI 202. For a list of the other colors I used click on my name below and that will take you to my other posts. I had fun stitching along with you all! I don't plan to stitch the gentleman, so it looks like I'm done with the SAL. Good luck to all of you! :)

Lady is at least done

Again, I'm only stitching this at lunchtime at work so my progress is slow, but this is such a fun stitch I don't mind it lasting a bit longer ;)
Thanks for looking!

Finally posting some progress

I have been bad about getting anything posted here. I started in mid-September but I was concentrating on finishing my Beatrix Potter Quaker sampler by end of September so I didn't have much time for my poor Quaker Lady. I am trying to make more progress now. I can't believe how fast some of you have finished this project - I have so many projects going I am like a bee going from flower to flower LOL. I am stitching this on 40-ct linen and I seem to be slower stitching on it as I have to be more careful placing my stitches for some reason.

I am loving seeing all of the other color combinations you all have been stitching. Congratulations all!

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 :)

Floss toss

This week I got the chart, fabric and floss from Amy. Thanks Amy.....I love the materials you selected. Here's the pic of the floss toss. I also started stitching, but just for 5 min........I hope to do more this weekend!

Missy's LQ Progress

Well here is my progress on Lady Quaker. I hope to finish her this month.



The colors looked a little washed in the photo. I love seeing all of the wonderful versions everyone has posted!

You ladies are awesome!

hugs

I'm Getting There....

I'm going to have to go to the LNS (Oh, Darn!) for more purple silk.... Hope I can find the same dye lot!

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
