    Oh, good heavens, Nicole. You and your smoking needles! It's a lovely finish and you've done so well with it. Can't wait to see your next new start. I think your startitis rubbed off on me--after getting "two red houses" half done, I started Moon and Stars and it's nearly done now. If you had been stitching it, you would have been finished the day after you started, lol.

    Wow...you are such a quick stitcher!!! I love it!! Congratulations on your beautiful finish. I picked up this design on a weekend outing yesterday. I am getting ready to order the rest of the silks and fabric that I need. I hope you don't mind me copying your fabric choice and the way you changed the color of your name and date. I just love your finish. I am looking forward to seeing what your next project is. :)

    Looks good! And, now that it's finished, I can finally know what it says! lol!

    As for the conversion you posted previously, Thank you and Katrina too! I had been curious to know what it was myself, but was too shy to ask. I wonder if this is the final push to get me stitching upon Mary Wigham! Oh, boy! I've never done a quaker before!! And, it's such an undertaking!!! (I'm not a fast stitcher like yourself, I'm just a fluffy little spring-chick newbie! :D) But....it looks so good with that conversion!!!

    How pretty Nicole!! You really did such an awesome job as always! I wish I could stitch as well and as quickly as you do! I guess it would help me to stitch more like on weekends. My dh and I go and do things on weekends. I got all the threads for Strawberry Garden at my LNS this weekend. Did you go to Amy's on Saturday? Hugs Debby
