Quaker Virtues - Take Two

Well, I stitched, and I pondered. I didn't like the fabric with my silks. So after a fair amout of thinking, I scrapped my original plan.
Take Two on Quaker Virtues - New fabric, main silk the same, accent silk had to change too. I am much more pleased with this combination. Here is the progress for take two.
I am now using Sandcastle 36ct by Silkweaver and the silks are Belle Soie - Spring Violets and Lily Pad.

Kristin's QV - First Update

Here is what I have to show for my first stitching update. I love working on QV. I feel like I have spent a lot of time working on this, but don't have a lot to show. I have always appreciated what others have posted for progress, but now I have a whole different perspective. While slow going, this is a joy to work on. I have been concerned that the contrast of the silk to the linen was not great enough, but this is for our bedroom which is very muted periwinkle so I am going to keep going with this color. The words and letters will be stitched in Oatmeal Scone.

Kristin's Quaker Virtues

Today I received all of my goodies for Quaker Virtues today. I just love it when the mailman brings good stuff! I have been admiring others fine work on the Quaker beauties for a while now. When I saw the SAL group form, I knew it was time to get moving! Thank you, I am so glad to be apart of my first stitch along.

I have chosen 36ct natural linen with Belle Soie Spring Violets and Oatmeal Scone. I can't wait to put my first stitches in!

Hope to post soon with progress.
