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

Greetings fellow Quaker enthusiasts! I'm new to the group. My name is Melissa and I live in southern California in the United States. I love stitching Quaker samplers and smalls. I have a couple of different samplers as WIPs right now (Quaker Row, The Token, and Quaker a 6 Mains). I'm hoping becoming a part of this group will help inspire me to take them from WIPs to finishes.

My most recent sampler finish was Quaker Samplings I from With My Needle. I stitched it on 32-count Cameo Lugana from Silkweaver using 1 strand of Tennessee Red Clay floss from Crescent Colors. Here's a picture of it:



I have a blog and online photo album. Here are the links for those:

I'm looking forward to getting to know all of you better, although I see several familiar names in the member list. I can't wait to see all of your beautiful Quakers, too.
