Well, here is a little post of the progress I have made this week on SoHRH...It is so much fun! I realize I am only on square 1...and ask me when I have gotton to about square 6 how I feel..right?? So, I figured I would mingle quickies as I go along...And, I came up with the doing the ....
Quaker Lady for my diversion....Just like SoHRH I am doing it on 40ct...I decided to go with GAST threads: Holly Berry and Dark Chocolate. The Holly Berry reminds me of the faded red I like to use at Christmas...just is a toned down muted red that is not too bright or not too cranberry either. Anyway, this one will be fun to migrate to when I need a change of pace...So, finally tomorrow is Friday...first week of school under my belt with the darlings....I am so looking forward to this weekend!! Happy stitching everyone!! Faye

I love your first square! I need to start mine (whining loudly).
ReplyDeleteLove your new starts. I just ordered Quaker Lady yesterday from Amy so hope to start it Monday or Tuesday. Love the Holly Berry...may have to take a second look at that color. I am planned to stitch with Poinsettia. Decisions, decisions.
ReplyDeleteYou never cease to amaze me! Even with school just starting you seem to manage/accomplish so much stitching....I'm so jealous! Beautiful work FayeRaye, I was just looking at the Quaker Lady pattern just last week, I really like her, and your version, too.
ReplyDeleteGreat new starts! Love your progress on both starts. I was tempted to start My Lady's Quaker too...the temptation is so hard to resist!!
ReplyDeleteYour first square is looking wonderful! Don't you just love it? And I love the Quaker piece too - I've been trying to resist it, but I don't think I'm going to be able to much longer. I really like the colors you chose for it!!
ReplyDeleteBoth are beautiful Faye! I'm going to do Shores one of these years. I LOVE your Quaker Lady!
ReplyDeleteBoth are looking great! I love those Hawk Run Hollow patterns..and the Quaker is so cute!
ReplyDeleteLove the SOHRH and MLQ, too. Colors are great. Hope school is going well this year.
ReplyDeleteI think my new goal is gonna be to keep up with you on Shores. Since I finished Block 1, I've been working on something else. As soon as that's finished, Shores will be in my hands again.
ReplyDeleteOh, oh, I am so jealous - I just love the Quaker Lady (and Gent). I have ordered entirely too much recently and need to stop - so I haven't ordered these two. I will have to live vicariously through your wonderful work!
ReplyDeleteFaye, what wonderful progress! And I love the two colors you chose for your Lady Quaker!
ReplyDeleteI adore the colors you picked. Can't wait to see this finished. Isn't this a fun stitch?
ReplyDeleteYour Quaker Lady is beautiful! I like it.
