This is how my love affair with Quaker designs started, the original Beatrix Potter's Quaker Sampler by Needleprint. I saw this on line and just had to have it. I do know it is stitched with Needlepoint Silk,Inc.
This one is called Sampler 4 Seasons by Monasterium Design. Again I used Needlepoint Silks for thread.
As usual, the colors are much prettier than this shows.
This is a wonderful Ellen Chester "With MY Needle" design called "An Emblem of Love". I put in family initials. I did this for our 32nd anniversary.The blues are all from the Atlantic Blue Range of needlepoint silks.(Color in photo is off)
This is a Handwork Sampler called"The 1830 Judith Townsend". The original is in the DAR museum in Washington DC. I am a member of DAR so I wanted to stitch one from that museum.
This has nothing to do with Quaker Samplers, but I love spiders and we have a great batch of babies on our deck!
Thanks for taking a look and have a great Sunday!
Your Quakers are lovely. I love stitching them too. I think because when you finish each motif it feels like an accomplishment.
ReplyDeleteGlad to hear you will begetting rid of the bandage.
Have a great week!
Lovely stitching Barb. I particularly like the seasons one,but they are all gorgeous, a lot of work in each of them too.
ReplyDeleteHope you will be able to do some stitching this week.
Great photo of the baby spiders,home is a bit over crowded,looks like they will have to find bigger quarters:)
The most interesting one among the pictures is the baby spiders. They are so cute!
ReplyDeleteEvery stitching works are gorgeous! Happy to hear that your hand will be released from the bandage' prison!
All the best!
these are all so wonderful. maybe tell sba that you can't put your hand in water for the rest of your life.
ReplyDeleteOh, I can't stand those spiders, especially all those little ones crawling around...gives me the shivers! I love your Quaker samplers. I am anxious to see my Bluebird Quaker sampler (not sure of the proper name)and I just saw one on-line that I'm swooning for called Vintage Stars. Shepherd's Bush used their own 32 ct linen called Old Earth and their own colors. You're on the downhill side to being finished with your hand and when it's all said and done, it will seem like it didn't take any time at all! Have a good week!
ReplyDeleteSuch beautiful Quakers! I've done the Beatrix Potter one and I'm working on Willie's Quaker Band by Monasterium. I've got a stash of other Quakers I can't wait to get to someday. Hope you have a great week!
ReplyDeleteYour stitching looks lovely.
ReplyDeleteI don't like the look of the spiders!
Beautiful stitching! Love the Quakers too:)
ReplyDeletelove your quaker pieces :) and cute spiders too :)love mouse xxxx
ReplyDeleteThey're all so pretty, Barb! Emblem of Love is my favorite (probably because you stitched it in blue!) Would you believe I've never stitched one?
ReplyDeleteNot sure how I feel about all those spiders though!!
Ooooh! I love your Quaker pieces! I'm in love with the red you used in your Beatrix Potter!! I've only stitch two small quaker designs but want to stitch more!! Mmm, the spiders are pretty in the picture but I don't want them near me!!
