Quaker Strawberry kitted up
This is my choice for the Quaker Christmas ornaments SAL:
Quaker Strawberry by Blackbird Designs, from JCS Christmas Issue 2006.
I've chosen a Silkweaver lugana opalescent colour Jamaica Sparkle,
but I'm undecided about the silk thread.
Can you help me to choose one?
Thank you in advance,

Quaker Strawberries finished!
These are my Quaker Strawberries.
I've personalized the finishing, but mainly followed this tutorial on Focus on Finishing.
The pattern, by Blackbird Designs, was published on JCS Christmas issue 2006.
The threads are both Dinky Dyes: the red one is #59 Warratah and the purple one is #73 Shiraz; the fabric is a 28ct Opalescent lugana color Jamaika Sparkle from Silkweaver.

My Quaker Ornament
Although I didn't sign up for the SAL I have finished my Quaker Ornament for this year. It is actually taken from JCS Ornament Issue of 2002 - but a date change is easy. I used Dublin linen and stitched over one with DMC 115.

SAL Ornaments
I finished up the stitching on the ornament I started last week - but now that it is finished I wonder if "ornament finishing" is what I want to do to the piece -
I also started another ornament - the Reindeer form the JCS 2006 - here is my start -
This is stitching up pretty quick. Using WDW Cocoa on Days Gone By linen 32 ct.

My Ornament finish!
Yay finished it
but still undecided on how to finish it,
maybe as a open fabric stocking or as a stocking shaped pinkeep

my SAL ornament
I'm stitching REJOICE (The Workbasket) from the 2005 ornament issue of JCS. I'm stitching it on 35 count antique white linen from Vikki Clayton, and I'm using DMC 115 floss.
I was leaning toward that Quaker Reindeer, myself. I think I'll start stitching it as soon as I finish this one!

Christmas SAL
I've chosen the Quaker Reindeer from JCS Ornaments 2006.
At the moment I'm stitching it on Quaker fabric in a natural colour using a plain dark brown Anchor thread.
I've got everything ready but off tomorrow to a Knitting and Stitching show in Yorkshire so taking it with me to start either on the journey or while I'm there. But I might even wait until after my first visit to the show on Thursday to see if I can find a suitable hand dyed thread as I had none the right colour in my stash!
I'm hoping too to pick up some Quaker design charts and have booked a Blackwork class with the Royal School of Needlework.
Just hope I've got room in my bags and enough hands to carry all my goodies home!

Quaker Christmas ornaments SAL partecipants
Here's the list of the Quaker Christmas ornaments SAL partecipants:
It's right?
It's better I remember you the simple rules.
The aim is to create almost a quaker Christmas ornament for our Christmas tree. The patterns can be taken from every JCS Christmas Ornaments issues or any other Xmas ornament pattern: the only rule is that it has to be a Quaker ornament, obviously.
The SAL will officially start next November 16th.
Someone else would like to join?
