M. Quertier 1799
c. 1800 Gift Pincushion
I wasn't 'in love' with M. Quertier at first but more I stitch of it, more I like it. With the pincushion is a whole different story - a love from the first stitch! Both pieces are stitched with silk floss on linen. M. Quertier sampler is stitched with 1 thread of black silk over 2 threads of fabric and the pincushion 1 over 1.
In my previous post I wrote about my disappointment with the shortage of the floss in the kit. My problem is solved! I've contacted the Scarlet Letter and remaining floss is on the way. Marsha, the owner of The Scarlet Letter is a very nice person, it was a pleasure to deal with her.
So long my friends,
Evalina
Your projects for the Scarlet Letter Challenge are great and you made some nice progress on them.
ReplyDeletegreat :)
ReplyDeleteBeautiful projects! I love them both. I hope you had a wonderful Christmas. We were supposed to drive into Quebec today to celebrate with my eldest son and his family however a winter storm has sidetracked us. We're expecting close to 30 cm today and we've already received close to 20 overnight!
ReplyDeleteLovely start, Evalina!!!!!!!!!! Looking forward to watch your progress! Merry Christmas!
ReplyDeleteGreat progress! I can't imagine the sun rising at 10 in the morning! But I also can't imagine the sun being out all day either :)
ReplyDeleteBeautiful stitching! The pincushion looks so regal and dainty!
ReplyDeleteMerry Christmas Evalina!! I hope you had a lovely time with your family and friends. Beautiful progress on both designs, but that pincushion is just too adorable!! I can see why you fell in love with it with your first stitch!

Excellent progress on both pieces Evalina, and they are lovely. Isn't it nice to deal with a company with great customer service?
ReplyDeleteStitching looks great! I can't imagine how cold it is there and your short days. I love how you notice the 1 minute more of daylight. I thought I was the only one who looked forward to that minute more of daylight. I am like you -- this time of year I'm so ready for spring, warmer weather and longer days.
ReplyDeleteStay warm!
Lovely projects Evalina. Loving the second one especially with all that gold. It looks so rich. I read through a few of your posts and love the pic of the temperature gauge. lol. We are getting the cold days too and the snow! Everyone is talking about the amount of snow we have. It's not usual for us. Well, I"m off to start a little stitching project too. Loving your blog.

ReplyDeleteSilk on linen must be lovely to work with. The pincushion is especially spectacular.
ReplyDeleteGlad to hear daylight hours are getting longer. I live much further south than you and I find the shorter days certainly affect me!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful stitching!
Happy New Year!
