I am so happy to report that my absence from the blog was because I've had my nose to the grindstone finishing up my Quaker Faith! I made some more progress on it at the LNS first Friday stitch-in and decided I just needed to buckle down and finish it already. So that's what I did!
Here's my progress on 7/14/14
Here's where I was Saturday around noon.
Design: Quaker Faith
Designer: Little by Little
Fabric: 35 ct. Jackalope
Floss: DMC as charted
Started: 1/1/14
Finished: 8/10/14
To be framed...
Here it is finished as of about 9:30 last night! I changed the initials on the right side to reflect those of my parents and paternal grand parents. It seemed fitting to honor them. I left the "P" on the left to represent my honey.
A special thanks goes to Melissa over at Words and Blooms. I had entered her giveaway back in 2012 and found out on 5/8/12 that I'd won this kitted chart! So I wouldn't have stitched this beauty if it weren't for Melissa's generosity! Thank you so much, Melissa!!!
This finish also serves a dual purpose too. I am now finished with my commitment for the local Queen City Sampler Guild's Quaker challenge! Now all I have to do is get to the LNS to get her framed.
This finish kicked my week off to a great start. I'm going to get back on the Parrots now and I've even started thinking about Christmas ornaments. I can truthfully say that after committing myself to three BAPs this year, I'm going to try not to do that again. I really do miss my smalls and ornaments. Live and learn!
I hope everyone has a great week! Summer is sadly winding down but I'm looking forward to the Shepherd's Bush Retreat in October so it's not all bad! Have a good one and thanks for stopping by to see me today.
Until next time,
The Inspired Stitcher

great job getting a finish on the Quaker piece. You really did put the head down and get it done. Can't wait to see the next Snooty update. Cheers! Mel
Congratulations on your Happy Dance. This is a great piece, looking forward to seeing it framed. I like the variety in it - the alphabet, the quaker motifs and the scene at the bottom. Lovely!
I'm behind on my reading so I just wanted to say how much I enjoyed the retreat posts earlier this month. It looks like so much fun!
It's gorgeous, congratulations
