Quaker Christmas Samplers

Fabric: Vintage Fawn@ Lakeside Linens 40ct

I just finished this little Chritsmas Sampler

in this morning.

It has been so close to finish

since about a week ago,

but of course I got sidetracked by

some other projects in between.

As there is a companion piece of this one

came with the chart,

I'll have to make that one as well

some time next year?

This is one of my purchases

"Les Lettres de Noël"

@De filen aiguille No. 52, Nov-Dec 2006

Fabric: Wichelt linen 40ct Natural

Fiber: AVAS 100/3 Creme & #500

This ons is a companion piece of the below.

I stitched up the first one

a couple of years ago,

then found out I had a little problem

finding the embellishment- extra small beads.

I finally finished up and framed it

about this time of last year

with some great helps by my blogland friends

Emma and Sanae in Japan.

They both saw and liked mine first,

then finshed theirs even before I did mine.

What's up with that? lol

Thank you both and it's that time again

to pull out from the closet to show off!

Right: "Moonlit Garden" Loose Feather #22

by BBD

Fabric: Lakeside Linens 40ct Vintage Dill

Fiber: WDW- called for the chart

I finished my fall house

even before putting my blog on vacation.

That was really fun while our weather

here in Arizona was still extremely warm!!

Then I started another fall project

as I really liked my fall house.

It's Fraidy Felix in black linen with 30ct.

Yes, 30ct in black is not something

I'm used to... 

Here is a lovely antique looking pincushion

I made as a class project last month. 

Linda Danielson@ Samplers Remembered

had a workshop at my LNS.

We learned how to embellish the pincushion

with the lace trim with the antique MOP buttons.

It was such a fun class learning and stitching with

all other participants,

some of us were even from out side of the state!

I've heard she is going to give another class

in early January as it was so popular

between the two classess she's already had.

"Petals for Penny Table Mat"

by Primitive Gatherings

And the last one, but not the least,

I'm also stitching this wool applique mat.

Wool applique is such a relaxing project

without any hustle.

I almost feel so sorry to finish the project

towards the end of it as it's that much fun!!

I think that's about it for now from here.

See you again some time...

More fall inspirations...

A little sew-a-long project

Block 1: Clay's Choice by Cheryl

Finish size: 4" sq

I found my local quilty friend/teacher Cheryl

has just started her SAL project

and of course I have to join :)

Thanks Kristine for letting me know.

You are always way ahead of me!!

In this fall, since came back
from our Southern California trip,

all of the sudden, I fell in love with

the primitive/folk art sort of taste

a lot like Cheri's style

and started thinking about making

a small-medium size quilt

in black/greyish colors with a hint of red.

So with that keeping in my mind,

I'm planning to use that color theme

for this mini project.

It'll be fun to see how it'll grow!!

Speaking of our So Cal trip,

I still have two more shop visits pictures

need to organize to post here.

I will get back with them

in the next a couple of days ;)

And coming back to Fall inspirations...

I finished stitching the above piece

this time of last year and got framed

 by my stitcher friends Janet and Joy

@Valley House Primitives last year.

Although Kathy Barrick has retired

from designing, I still have quite a few

of her lovely charts in my stash

and a couple of them are actually

the holiday season's designs.

So maybe start thinking about

stitching one of those?

But why not having fun

between the study!?
