Two Quakers

This is Deb's Emblem of Love RR with three sections stitched. Deb chose a pink linen with a selection of threads leaving us to decide which threads we used for our section. I do not usually stitch on such a colourful fabric so I found this quite a challenge.

A close-up of the section I chose to stitch. I am trying to pick a different section on each one but this doesn't always work out towards the end of a RR. I apologise for the poor pictures - I think they actually look slightly better if you click on them to enlarge. It's very dark again today.

And now an update on Beatrix and, as you can see, I am nearly there! There was no stitching for me over the weekend as we had visitors but I will get back to it later this afternoon. Why did I leave that large motif at the top? I am now determined to finish this before I start anything new. There will be rejoicing when this one is finished!

Thank you to all who have suggested names for the latest iStitch chart. There are a couple that have caught my eye but I have not yet decided on a final name.

Thanks for visiting

Take care

Oh Deb's RR is lovely. Sometimes colored fabrics can create their own challenge. Nice work there.
Beatrix is so close. It will be stunning done.
