Having here a major happy dance after finishing part 5 of the "Grand Marquoir" Now it's waiting for the last part which will be released end of October. The picture doesn't do it justice. Somehow I really like these days stitching over one.
Nancy K sent me a note that the needle book I made for her has arrived. :)
She is a fan of Quaker motifs, which we do have in common. The design is taken from a chart by "With my Needle" and is called "Of female arts". I changed it a bit to suit it to over one stitching...to which I got slightly addicted...lol. "Of female Arts" is part of the "Little Sampling Etui" and I stitched it on a 28ct Cashel solo from Silweaver using Gentle Art threads.

That Marquoir is so beautiful, I cannot wait to see it finished. Your needlebook is cute, I need to see about doing one of those sometime. I'm forever losing my needles! :)
I love this sampler and want to thank you for leading the way. Great stitching. I have downloaded it and will include it in my to be done box.
Love the needlebook too.
The needle book is fantastic! And, I love the part 5. I have often admired this piece and think I need to put it in my to do pile! Your over one is beautiful!
I bet that sampler is just beyond words in real life!! I am so drawn in to the over one and small stuff too! That's why I have done a couple of the ones on silk (40 ct) but my eyes can't take it anymore.
Your needlebook is awesome and once again your finishing skills are beyond words!!!
Your WIP is stunning! Beautiful needle book.
This needlebook is a dream. Nancy must have been delighted.
You have some great projects on the go. Marquoir looks terrific. And the blocks for the American Afghan in your previous posts are so beautiful. I'm looking forward to seeing it finished on your blog.
