Gentle Friends, looking way back before the Blog even I stitched this...
BBD "Quaker Garden"
RR Linen 30ct Garden State Java
Called for WDW & GAST
... I found a reference to this piece in 2007... it's an oldie, "fake" quaker... so to speak. I think it was even my first Quakeresque thing that I stitched... but from this was born a love of the Quaker Sampler and I have stitched many since. Those quakery bits are scatted about the house and in homes of friends and family that I have foisted on as gifts. When I took it off the wall I could see it is also an early framing job of mine. Since this was framed I have found I prefer my stitching framed tighter without so much "white" or empty space... but I'll not change it and back up it goes.
The old thumb is getting better but I keep snagging the healing wound on the silk floss when I push the needle up, but I keep going. So, Monday's update on AGW will be smallish for sure.
Have a super weekend and thanks for stopping by do stop again. Stay Safe!!
Good Thoughts! Good Words! Good Deeds!

Beautiful Blackbird finish, Edgar!
ReplyDeleteEdgar, perhaps a "rubber finger" would work to protect your wound
ReplyDeleteand facilitate your stitching. Used to use them for filing and they are
relatively comfortable and come in sizes - office supply store - if there
are any left outside of the internet.... Hope you back on track in
no time....Hope you both have a great weekend.
Do you frame all of your own pieces? I have only started doup much same way you cut your thumb. I hope your thumb heals quickly to make your stitching easier. I kept stitching also.
ReplyDeleteDearest Edgar: Beautiful flashback post, it is a lovely design.
ReplyDeleteI have a problem every once in a while, with a hang nail or rough skin, I use a metal nail file to smooth the skin down do it lightly you do not want to cause a bleed, I buy mine at Target, a little spendy but better than the other nail files.
Have a great day
