I don't know about you...but I love Quaker patterns. I could sit and do patterns all day long...especially Quakers. I just love watching the puzzle pieces all come together...and then to see them stitched is the icing on the cake.
I had my new model stitcher tackle Be True in Heart and she did a wonderful job. Thank you Sara!
I chose my own coffee dyed linen and plum floss...I think it turned out plum perfect!
Next I decided to dye the fabric I had my other Quaker (Harmony) stitched on. I just wasn't happy with it...so I decided to go dark and it was exactly what I was wanting. Could I duplicate it? Probably not...it was layer upon layer of light dye untilI got just the right amount to suit me. This is my own flo blue floss and although I am not a blue person...I could decorate the whole room in dark blue and this variegated blue for accents. The floss changed color as I applied the dye for the fabric to give me this interesting effect. I love it! And I am sure I could not duplicate this either but that is ok. These are for me to look at. Now I need to get busy and frame these beauties and hang them on the wall.
Makes me think I want to do another Quaker pattern..................
Have a great day. Thanks for stopping by.
