My Lady QuakerJardin Prive Designs
40 ct Lakeside Light Exemplar
GAST Dark Chocolate/Holly Berry
Well, here is my latest completion!!! My Lady Quaker (I call her lil ms thang~~!) was completed in the last few days...sorry for the "wavy" photo...I guess either I didnt have her laying down flat or she was shaking those hips at me!~ Anyway, I was pleased with the outcome...The dark brown and paler red seemed to be a good compliment to one another....
36 ct linen-coffee stained and baked by meAnd even though the photo does not do my coffee stained and baked linen much justice, it truly is stained just like I like it~!! Vonna is a genius! Her step by step tutorial is perfect! And thanks to my buddy Karen SC for giving me the encouragement to go out on a limb and try this technique.... I need that nudge and it worked!~~ Thanks ladies.
What will my next adventure bring??? It could be another block in SoHRH, finishing some much needed attention to finishing the MANY smalls I have on hand or it just might start a new Quaker sampler...I have some red overdyes begging to be put to good use!.....So, will keep you posted....Happy stitching everyone and hope you are getting ready for spring like I am~ Faye

Oh she's beautiful! I love this design...and I bet she was shaking her hips at you! Yup, that's what it was!!
Vonna is a genious in more ways than one......I've never tried dying fabric...one of these days...
Take care
Marion
congrats on the fabulous finish.
Your Lady is great, color combination is very pleasing to the eye. Staining/baking is fun huh!
Sweet Stitchin...
Great finish and I love the colors! I think I like the alphabet too...may have to go back and stitch it.
Love your fabric too! You will now be hooked!!!!
Great finish on your Quaker girl! I have that in my "queue" of things to stitch.
She looks beautiful. Congrats on your finish. We are getting ready for Autumn here in Aust.
Quaker Lady looks fabulous. I absolutely love that color combination-my favorite that I have seen on this sampler. Gorgeous! Congrats on your finish!
Your fabric looks great!! I am going to have to get my courage up and try that eventually.
Looking forward to seeing what you stitch next. :)
Well, I love Little Miss Thang - she's beautiful! And the fabric looks awesome, too.
Well Little Miss Thang turned out great!! Congrats on the finish
Beautiful! This is such a pretty design.
Lil Miss Thang looks wonderful! Will you frame her or make her into a pillow? I really like this pattern and the Gentleman Quaker. The Gentleman has a dog! LOL Your linen looks great too. I HAVE to get down there and get me some of that stuff. Stay warm my friend!
Lil Miss Thang sure is sassy and cute! Congrats on trying out Vonna's technique. It's always great to learn something new and it inspires others. I like your finished result.
Can't wait to see what you stitch next!
she is beautiful. Forgot to go to the beach when it snowed. Glad you took pics for me!
GORGEOUS!
Oh my GOODNESS!! I love your Little Ms Thang! She's gorgeous! Wow, the colors are just perfect, so beautiful! Congrats on such a wonderful finish :-)

Quaker Lady looks great - and so does your fabbie!
She's a beauty, Faye! Congrats on a wonderful finish!
She looks lovely all done in chocolate and red!
Good job on the dyeing job - it looks great! Be careful though - it can be addiciting!
Your Quaker Lady is totally stunning! I love the colors! I may have to buy this chart!
She is just charming--you did a beautiful job on both your dyeing and stitching, Faye!
I LOVE how your Lady Quaker turned out I agree that colors worked out fabulously :)
And thank you for your kindness about me :) I had to laugh out loud, I'm not a genius just cheap! :)
Well no wonder she is happy - your stitching makes her just beautiful! I love the colors, and congratulations on dying your linen yourself!
Love your finish! The colors are just beautiful.
Wow, she's beautiful. The colors are perfect on your dyed linen. Congratulations!
Congrats on a wonderful finish...your colors are really lovely!
Truly lovely! I hadn't seen that design before and it's so charming. You did a great job on her. I'm going to have to learn about Vonna's technique for dying fabric. I love the look and get tired of paying for someone else to have "antiqued" the fabric.

Congrats on your Quaker Lady finish Faye!! It turned out great!! Love the fabric too!! Vonna is a genius, no matter what she says! :)
Quaker Lady looks gorgeous. I love the colours you chose, tehy go perfectly together.
Hmmm, I also should try to dye and bake some linen. With Vonna's tutorial nothing can go wrong, I think. Your piece really looks good.
WOW!! Your QL looks gorgeous, and the color combo that you chose is perfect. Great job on the dye & bake job, too. I really need to try that!
It looks great! I've yet to try hand dyeing my own linen pieces yet. Yours looks nice and mottled. Gotta love that effect.
Quaker Lady is fabulous, Faye! She looks so regal and the colors really do go well together! Oh, and your coffee stained/baked linen is so rich looking! Glad that it turned out for you! Looking forward to seeing what you have in store for it. And yes, I am looking forward to spring too!
Really like your colour combo. What a lovely finish.
What a big project your finished. Congratulations.
It turned out so nice...love the colors! Dianntha

You do BEAUTIFUL work!! I just found your Blog. Where did you find these black scissors? I love the shape of them.
Congratulations on another beautiful finish! The fabric is gorgeous!
She is a beauty - nicely done.
Will you stitch Mr Quaker now?
