Sziasztok!
Tegnap (vagy azelőtt?) volt egy kis délutáni napsütés, gyorsan lefotóztam,
hogyan is áll most a quakerem. Már látszik, hogy milyen magas is lesz: 34,5 cm.
A kép kattintásra bejön nagyban!
Hello again,
Yesterday (or a day before?) we had some sunshine late afternoon soI took
some photos about my quaker sampler.
You can see its high now, 34,5cm.
The picture is clickable!

Belle Soie 'Mudpie' with 1 over 1
Take care and keep stitching!

Dear Nina
Also your work looks great.
It makes joy to regard this Sampler in the different threads:-)
In addition you inserted a beautiful picture in the blog.

Hi! I love your choice of colors! How did you dye your fabric? I've never done that and I would love to try. Your stitching is beautiful! Amy aka/stitchchick
Thank you :)
Amy: this piece was dyed with teagrasses. It was white. I made a very strong tea and put the fabby in it. Let is be cold and put into a cold water with vinegar.
It was too dark for this thread so I washed with my hands in a hand-warm water. And you can see the final result ;)
And: Vonna has a really good technic to dye fabby, please visit here:

Dear Nina
Your work is impressive.. you told me your fabric is a 28 count... and you are stitching 1/1... did I get it right? I might try that as well... maybe a 32 to start is a bit too much...
Can you tell me how big is the final design in real in the 28 count fabric you are using??
I am also impressed with the variety of floss people is using... I though of using the original silk but never stitched in silk and it might make it too difficult... I will think about it and choose some nice colour in the coming days... I must do some tests first... :))
love

Marta: yes, this is 28ct Cashel linen, and I'm stitching 1 over 1 with Belle Soie :)
But please look at bucilla's progress, she is stitching on 32ct linen 1 over 1 ;)) Little bit smaller than mine.
My sampler will be.. cca. 34,5 cm x 36 or 27 cm
Not big one :)
Stitching with silk threads is easy and fantastic! I love Belle Soie and Vikki Clayton silks! If you can please take a try! You will love it!
Hugs,
Nina
* of course I mean 34,5cm x 36 or 37 cm,
sorry, I was wrong.
Thanks Nina
I have at home a 50x70 piece of Belfast 32ct Country Mocha linen that I think will be very beautiful for this project (I still do not feel confident with staining my linen with tea) so... I just need the thread and I think I will listen to you and order a bunch of silks... I must try...
thanks again
marta
Marta, I can't wait to see your threads ;)
What type of silk will you buy?
I like Belle Soie and Victoria Clayton silks very much!
VC silk is a bit better, if you see Bucilla's first post you will find a link where can you buy if you want :)
Belle Soie is so soft and good to touch! Nice to stitch with both silks.
Can't wait to see your choises!

Here's Bucilla's progress with VC silks thread.
Amazing beautiful!
I chose my colour... we will see if it goes good with the linen. It is a Vicky Clayton fiber... Primordial ooze, you can see it here:

I think it is a great greenish colour... I am more a red person but one just looked soooo great!
Can´t wait!
