Update on Quaker Halloween

This is the Quaker Halloween motif I'm working on for April. I am really enjoying this piece.

Great news......our computer virus is gone!!! My future SIL got rid of it for us :).

A very special friend of mine has started a stitching blog and I hope you'll pay her a visit. Her blog is Wicked Stitching. She is a beautiful stitcher and I know you'll enjoy following her.

Thanks for stopping by, I hope everyone has a great weekend.

Quaker Halloween and Flowers

Below are the lovely flowers my husband gave me for Valentine's Day. Fresh flowers are my favorite thing to receive (especially from hubby).

Now here is my progress on Quaker Halloween. This first picture looks good but you need to look at the second picture to see how close I am to the edge of the linen. And I am not the one who cut this linen. The linen is from Vikki Clayton and I think she must have been in a hurry when she cut this.
Now, it is my fault that I'm so close to the edge. When I started my second motif I accidentally flipped my project around. This was such a silly mistake because I actually marked the top of the linen just so this wouldn't happen. Thankfully the person who will frame this for me is a friend and I've done this to her several other times and she always does an amazing job.

I'm off to a conference (for work) in New York this afternoon and won't be back until late Friday night. I'm not looking forward to it because I am so busy that this is kind of stressing me out.

Thanks so much for stopping by.

A Quaker Halloween Sampler

This is "A Quaker Halloween Sampler" by Cherished Stitches. I started this back in March of 2010. I'm stitching this on a 35ct linen (no name) from Vicky Clayton with Olde Willow Stitchery threads. I LOVE this linen, the mottling is perfect for a halloween piece. It's supposed to be a monochromatic piece but I'm doing it in different colors that I like. Love the way it's coming out so far.

Thanks for stopping by and visiting.
