Sarah Moon Sampler
About 2 weeks ago, I finished stitching the "Sarah Moon Quaker Sampler", from the Ackworth School. I made my own color conversion from AVAS to Splendor silk, and also changed some colors that were to pale for my taste.

I personalized the sampler to reflect that this was a SAL project with 3 Spaniard friends, adding theirs initials too:
When I started stitching this sampler, I decided to do my own version, not an exact replica, correcting some mistakes that the original design has and re-charted many motifs to avoid the overlapping. Here is the final result:

Back of the stitched piece:
Was stitched on linen fabric 40ct, color antique white, 1x2, with silk threads. More details about this project in my blog: Magicxstitch.

Quaker Faith Hope Love
Wanted to share my new Quaker release from last month. Quaker Faith Hope Love.
I've been following all the wonderful critters that were exchanged and everyone did such pretty finishes. Love the WIP's. As models are about all I manage to stitch these days wanted to share my Quaker finish!
