I’ve been stitching away at designs from this book. I meant to post Friday night but I just had to stitch one more, and then yesterday I had to stitch one more again . . . I started yet one more today but decided enough is enough! I have some exchanges and gifts I need to get done.
Stitched with Carrie’s Threads on 30ct R&R scrap.
DMC on 18ct black aida, not sure if I’ll do the antiquing step given in the book. I think I like how this looks.
Both stitched with 1 strand Carrie’s Threads on 40ct fabric over 2.
Stitched with 1 strand of Seaweed from Carrie’s Threads over 2 on 40 R&R scrap.
stitched with 2 strands of Cocoa Carrie’s Threads over 2 on 30ct R&R scrap.
I was thankfully excused for this week from jury duty, but have to check in every Friday for the next 4 weeks to see if I am needed the following week. I start my 2nd to last class on Wednesday – the end is in sight!

You stitched all this in one weekend? MY HEAVENS!!!!
I stitched the Victorian Pins and Needle piece for an exchange, I didn’t antique it either but I did add some seed beads around it.
Everything is beautiful!!!
Do you EVER sleep? :o)
Beautiful, as always …
Wow Mary Kathryn! They are all so pretty! Congrats on FIVE great finishes!!! 🙂
All gorgeous Mary Kathryn!! I can’t believe you stitched all that in one weekend! Way to go!! Your thread choices are stunning! Love them all!!!
Wow, you were on a roll! They are all beautiful!
Wow! You were in a stitching frenzy! All very pretty of course. 🙂
Wow, you’ve been busy! Well done on all of these – they are gorgeous! Great threads (of course, you can’t go wrong with Carrie’s, huh?)!
Lovely, lovely, lovely! Where did you find that book?
Oh lovely – you’ve been on a roll for definite, love ’em all and can’t wait to see what you finish them up as.
Beautiful pieces! You really stitch quickly. I can’t wait to see how you finish them.
They’re all gorgeous! I’ve just started My Quaker House from the same book and I want to stitch Friendship’s Sheltering Vine also – there’s some beautiful designs in this book.
Oh such lovely finishes, Mary Kathryn. I will tell you a little secret, I had planned to stitch the pincushion in your second picture for you, but when you wrote that you had been stitching from this book I decided to wait and see if you were making this for yourself. So do tell, is this for give away or for thee?
They look gorgeous! I love the designs in this book. I can’t wait to see how you finish them.
Beautiful stitching Mary Kathryn. I look forward to seeing how you finish them up! :o)
Dear Mary Kathryn. I discover your blog with real pleasure: so many beautiful things and this the book you’re presenting in this article looks so interesting I ordered it, just now.
Thank you for sharing all these beauties. Hello from Belgium.
