Hedgehog Quaker
Questo è il mio primo soggetto quaker. Si tratta di un freebie di The Workbasket; l'ho ricamato con due fili di Belle Soie Kiwi di Crescent Colours su lino Cashel 28 count colore Fern di Silkweaver.
La mia intenzione è di ricamare altri alimali quaker in futuro; ho già adocchiato il Mouse, realizzato superbamente da Niki, e il Cat.

Hedgehog Quaker, freebie by The Workbasket, stitched with Crescent Colours Belle Soie Kiwi on 28ct Cashel linen Fern from Silkweaver.
My purpose is to stitch other quaker animals; I think the next one will be the Cat, but I also love the Mouse, superbly stitched by Niki.

A lovely Quaker Cat!
I've been on vacation for the past two weeks and when I got into the office this morning there was a package for me. It was my Quaker exchange! I didn't remember that I had given my work address as my mailing address and so I would be late in receiving my animal. Elena from Italy sent me this wonderful Quaker Cat made into a pillow with a pocket on the back. She also included some really pretty floss and ribbon. Thanks so much Elena! I love it. Sorry I made you wait to hear if your package had made it accross the water.

Give A Sheep-Get A Sheep!
I am so glad Irene enjoyed the Quaker Sheep I sent her. I really liked this design too. He has such a sweet face. I was so thrilled then to get a Quaker Sheep from my stitcher, Veronica. I am also honored to receive an exchange from the leader of this blog. I was nearly brought to tears when I opened the package today. There is was with the Italian postmark, right from the region that my great-grandparents came from over 100 years ago. Inside the package was this gorgeous piece. The border fabric is soft and fuzzy, just like a sheep. Inside the "stitcher's wallet" is lined with a fabric printed with sheep. There are beautiful wooden rings to keep floss neat and tidy and lovely pockets with little heart buttons to stash scissors, needles etc. I love it! Thank you so much Veronica (and you too Irene) for making my first exchange such an enjoyable experience.

Another turtle has landed!
Thank you, Paula, for my beautiful turtle which arrived safely after crossing the Atlantic Ocean in its new home in Scotland this morning. Thank you too for the little extras you included with it - the floss and the handcream sample which I had been wanting to try. I love Pansies and the colour purple so even the tissue wrapping was a delightful surprise!

From San Francisco to the UK

Today I received the above from Valerie in San Francisco. It is a beautifully stitched and finished flatfold featuring the adorable Quaker Mouse. It is stitched on Lakeside Linens Vintage Light Examplar fabric with Caron Waterlilies Flagstone floss and the backing fabric and unusual trim co-ordinates perfectly. The goodie package she enclosed contains Samplers and Such "A Spot of Tea" pattern, two skeins of Glorina Poinsettia silk floss, a packet of French, size 28, needles, a magnetic notepad and some Comos flower seeds. Valerie also enclosed two chocolate bars which are not shown in the picture as they were a bit soft from the journey so I have put them in the fridge. Thank you Valerie - a wonderful exchange!

Look What Arrived From Scotland



The Rabbit arrived from Meg in Scotland today. Meg I love it and I collect satchels like this. You couldn't have chosen a better finish. I love the colors and the Lindsay tartan is beautiful and means more since it is what your grandmother wore.
The package arrived just as I was leaving for a needle biopsi so this really picked up my day.
I love love love it! Thanks so much.

Quaker Cat Has Arrived!
I came home today to find a huge box in my apartment! I was a little surprised as the box was huge and I was expecting a stitchy order in the mail but nowhere near enough to fill up such a big box. But then my poor ailed eyes saw that it said Quaker Exchange on the box! I received my exchange from Margie. Oh my! She spoiled me. She stitched me up Quaker Cat on a very pale green linen and finished it up in a lovely green box. It is lovely. This is the first box I've ever received so I will be sure to study it. She did such a great job and the green cording and tassel are perfect!Plus she filled the box with goodies. She sent me a couple of pieces of backing fabric, charms, 2 skeins of Vikki Clayton silk that I've been curious about, M Designs Rose Mosaic Needle Roll chart, a box set of a tape measure, pin cushion/threader and needlecase that looks very interesting and Altoids. I feel very spoiled. Wow...what a wonderful day to end a long day filled with work, an exercise class and a climb up 50 stairs! Thank you so much Margie!

My Quaker Animal Arrived
The critters arrived at Gwen's house today. She says she loves them and I am thrilled. I did both The Quaker Cat and The Quaker Mouse because I couldn't decide which one I liked the best. The finish is in a cube. I can't seem to upload the pictures and I can't figure out why.
