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.

Hello everybody.
First of all, I want to publicly apologise for the long absence on this blog.
I'm the administrator but I haven't done a good job here lately.
I was totally away from the PC in August, and tried to come back in September, with so many thigs to settle on my website and main blog, that I temporaly skip my duties here.
Now I'm back.

I recently accepted new entrance requests, so I invite the new members to introduce theirselves to the quaker bloggers. I'll create your personal signature (let's see how apply signatures here) add the link into the Quaker bloggers column.

I want to congrats all the quaker members for their finishes, too.
Sorry for no leaving comments, however I've seen all them with feeds and really liked every personal touches you gave to your quaker pieces.

I'll try to follow again the newest releases of quaker designs, I promise I'll try.

It seems our first quaker exchange went very well, except two little obstacles almost passed (one member still has to receive her quaker animal, the first package went missed, but now it's on her way).
I think it's better to leave the second quaker exchange for the new year, after Epiphany,
but I wish to launch a Quaker Christmas Ornament SAL.

Wanted to share a Market release with you! Last year I posted I was working on a whimsical Quaker and thought you would enjoy seeing the results! I did a wooden box lid finish as well as a pinkeep and proud to say I did the finishes myself!

Hello Quaker Stitchers!
I've been very busy but I promise I'll try to be more active.

First of all, an event news:
I've received an interesting mail from Karen Bollin, the Vice President of Programs for the Loudoun Sampler Guild in Virginia.
Her guild is sponsoring a series of programs, entitled A Token of Love: the Quaker Girl & Her Needlework which will run most weekends through March & April, 2008, except Easter weekend. This series is a direct result of the cancellation of the exhibition and symposium that was to be sponsored by the Loudoun Museum.
The series includes lectures by Sue Studebaker, Betty Flemming, Lynn Tinley, & Mary Robare. Classes will be conducted by Betsy Morgan, Pamela Darney, Kathy Barrick-Dieter, and Ellen Chester. Ellen has created a special adaptation of her "Long May She Wave" to coordinate with the 35-star Quaker flag from the local Quaker community of Waterford, VA.

Then, patterns recent releases:
A Mon Ami Pierre's Souvenirs de Brodeuse
Blackbird Designs' Loose Feathers Beneath the Sunlit Sky
Ink Circles' Quackworth 2007
Lakeside Linens & Designs' Katie's Quaker Sampler
Long Dog Samplers' Opus II
Milady's Needle's Quakers Rule
Plum Street Samplers' Quaker Calendar V & Quaker Calendar VI
The Primitive Needle's Of Female Arts

Finally, a new quaker freebie from our honorary quaker member Debbie Draper: Spot of Fun.
