I was off on Friday (from work not my rocker.....but that is always debatable!!) and so took a trip over to NIAH and picked up some things, no snap...I'll get that up tomorrow. Then spent a majority of my stitchy weekend working on the pyn-keep challenge. Here is a snap of that sucker -

This is a piece that I have wanted to work up for the longest time and the Challenge was a very good reason to make it up. It is from Barrack Samplers and is called "Companion Quaker Christmas Tree Part I. It is worked on 32ct BOF Sandpiper using WDW and CC overdyed floss'. The middle of the flowers I used beads that are copper coloured from Sundance Bead Co. They are kind of hard to see, but they are there. It was the first time I had used any kind of beads on anything. I have always wanted to try but was not sure of how they would look. I really like the way this turned out. I did modify the chart and left out some of the extra bits as it was getting very busy.
I also started my next exchange so no picture there.
I hope everyone had a great weekend!!
Thanks for stopping by!
Take care,
edgar
