Quaker Faith Hope Love - Finished

Last night I finished "Quaker Faith Hope Love" © Midsummer Stitching for the SAL with Carol R., yeah!

Today the weather is in strong contrast to the weather in last few days, it's a very fine autumn day, the bracing air of autumn make my mind well-balanced and feel so fresh!

Here is my finished piece...
It was so fun to stitch along with my dear friend!


Quaker Faith...

Quaker Hope...

and Quaker Love...

These photos don't show the linen colour justice, I think the photo of "Love" is the most closest to the real colour.
I'm going to order a frame for this piece, but this month the budget is tight (lol), so I hope I can get frames in a few months! :0

Carol and I are planning to do private SAL again, we are going to stitch LHN piece next time together!
I'm very not good at setting the time for large piece SAL, though SAL for small piece is so fun and it motivates me to work on the same piece with dear friend!

Next time I will share my finished piece of "Blessings Be Thine" with you!
(I just finished it a short time ago!)

Take care and thanks for visiting!

Happy stitching :)

Stitching Progress 1022

I have been working on both "Blessings Be Thine" © Blackbird Designs and "Quaker Faith Hope Love" © Midnight Stitching for SAL with Carol R. now.
These two projects are very fun to stitch along!

Here are the photos of my progress so far.

This is very beautiful design, isn't this!
I love it very much and I can't wait to see the completed piece in the frame!

And here are some photos of Quaker SAL with Carol R.
I have done "Love" and am stitching on "Hope" now, but the thread colour (Oatmeal) which is recommended in the chart doesn't show up well on the linen I've chosen, so I have been thinking ripping off and re-stitching, but at the same time I have no energy to do it...
I think I should stitch Faith first. :)

As seeing this photo, I found that it does show up a little bit better in the sunlight, but under the room light, it doesn't show up well...

Carol R. and I were talking about the distance between us and thought it's so moving thing to do SAL with her, we are thousands miles away each other, but stitching the same design at the same time, that's so great!
I will think of her whenever I see this piece.

Stitching Post, Blessings Be Thine 1020

From a week ago, I have started stitching after my son slept at night.
And now I have been working on "Blessings Be Thine" © Blackbird Designs, preparing for Christmas!

Sorry for this wrinkled photo, :( Iron is yet somewhere in the box, lol
You finally knew how I am lazy as it has been coming out on latest posts, lol
I love this very beautiful design, it's so fun to stitch!

Here is a photo of my new project which goes on as SAL with Carol R.
We are going to do private SAL for "Quaker Faith Hope Love" © Midnight Stitching.

I chose GAST (Cranberry, Oatmeal) and Crescent Colours (Tartan Plaid) on 40ct Wichelt Linen : Sandstone.
As I'm going to stitch this on 40ct, it must be very small, but I love this linen so much, I wanted to stitch this beautiful design on this.

So let's see how it will turn out at the end!
I found a nice framer online, so I will order frames for both of these designs when I completed.
