This is my WIP on Bygone Stitches A Quaker Christmas. I am using Carrie's Creations Old World Red for the main colour and have just added a bit of Frosty Pine. It is stitched on my own coffee dyed 25 count fabric.

Here is a piece that I am currently working on experimenting with blue fibers in my stash. It is called Quaker Samplings by With My Needle. It is stitched on 32 count star sapphire jobelyn. I plan to make it into a pillowcase when finished. Please visit me at The Passion of My Needle.

I'm new also, thanks to Edgar for introducing me to Quaker designs! I admired his A Quaker Christmas and I joined his Quaker RR and I'm hooked! I really love the same color stitching! It's very soothing stitching! Can't wait to do the Workbasket Critter! I've got 6 patterns to choose from! What to choose? It is spring break for me next week and I'm planning on stitching!
Have a Quaker weekend everyone!

Hello, my name is Jan and I live in Maryland 20 miles north of Washington, DC. I've been cross stitching since my former SIL taught me almost 30 years ago. I just discovered all things Quaker and feel in love. This will be my first exchange and I'm very excited about it. It has been the year for first in stitching for me as I joined an SAL also.

You have to be a member to join the Quaker animal exchange: don't worry, it simply involves that I register you as a contributor of the blog, I only need a valid email address where send the invitation.
Vice versa, be a member doesn't mean to join the exchange.

Theme is the only rule to respect: the exchange is about Workbasket quaker animals.

The exchange involves only the finished piece, not the pattern: what you will have to send is only your stitched and finished piece, and you will receive only a stitched and finished piece.

You can finish your piece in whatever way.

You can find Workbasket patterns in almost every US online shops.
I can suggest you Stitching Bits & Bobs, 123 Stitch, ABC Stitch Therapy, only to name some.

We have to achieve almost 10 members to start the exchange.

You will know who to send but not from who.

If you're interested in it, don't be afraid of the deadline: it will be about middle June.
Send me an email to subscribe.

I have started a new Quaker sampler as part of a SAL that just started in March. It's the Hannah Beeby 1816 sampler from Gitta's. We are stitching on it the last full week of each month.

I am stitching it 1 over 2 on Tundra fabric from Lakeside Linen using Snoqualmie Falls overdyed cotton from Needle Necessities. Here is my progress at the end of Round 1. You can click on the picture to see an even larger version of the photo. Please pardon the wrinkles -- I didn't press it for the photo.



I had so much fun working on it. I almost hate to wait until the end of April to work on it again. LOL
