Quakers and Quilts :)

I found this frame on one of my recent treasure hunts. I paid a $1.00 for it! Yep, a big old buck!! A George Washington...Ok-so you get the picture? Anyway-I could not pass up a bargain like that :) AND Quakers and Quilts has been patiently waiting for a new home :) I framed it today (yes, those are Christmas trees in the background-I have 3 small trees that stay out year round to show off my ornies that I have stitched and friends have stitched :) I also have another tree that stays out year round that is Patriotic and yet another tree that I decorate seasonally) :)
This frame has the best wood color and grain to it. I think it works perfectly and for $1.00-who wouldn't?? :) I am very happy with it :)



Design: Quakers and Quilts
Designer: Rosewood Manor
Design Size: 15 x 8
Fabric: 40 ct. Lakeside Linen Lintel
Fibers: Valdani Floss (I chose these as this is the fibers that are recommended) I used 1 over 2 with the Valdani fibers because I stitched this on 40ct. -it called for 28ct. with 3 strands
Start Date: 10-19-2009
Finish Date: 11-11-2010


Thank you so much dear friends and readers for stopping by :) Please do come again :)
hugs and love from SC :)

WOW, what a great find! Perfect for your stitching, too! How did you like stitching with the Valdani threads? I never have and wondered if they were nice to stitch with.

I really love this piece ... It's a must have! I didn't purchase it yet, since I'm still debating on which Valdani I should choose = the 3-strand "perlé" or the 6-strand "mouliné".
B.t.w. you have amassed an impressive amount of stash (I thought I had a lot, but it seems I'm only a beginner - LOL).

Becky - that is really beautiful. Your piece is much more appealing than the photo on the chart! You do lovely work.
