Quaker Christmas and a New Start!

Here's my progress on Quaker Christmas. I finished up one large motif and a few smaller motifs.

A Quaker Christmas as of 4/1/08
Stitched on 40 ct. Vintage Examplar using one strand of Belle Soie silk.

I also decided to start LHN's "Herbal Tea" yesterday. I needed a break from the 40 ct! :)

LHN "Herbal Tea"
Stitched on 32 ct. Vintage Examplar using two strands of Belle Soie silk.

I didn't get a lot done, but I am liking it! Well, not much going on here. The boys are being good playing their game and Matthew is sleeping. I'm planning on taking them to Blackbeard's Cove later to let them run around a little bit and have some fun. Write later!

edited to add: The Belle Soie silk colors I'm using in Quaker Christmas is Cranberry, Collard Greens, and Butterscotch.
