The Quaker SAL is finished!

I'm so excited to show that I have finished the Soed Idee Quaker SAL by Twin Peak Primitive!  This was stitched on 30 count ivory over one with Belle Soie silk floss Cranberry.  I loved every second of this!  And even though I took this one to the beach with me, I didn't get time to stitch on it until I got home.  I love it and I hope to finish it into a pin drum.  Wish me luck!  I did buy some trim that I thought might work...fingers crossed it's the right color.  



Once that was finished I pulled out a scrap of hand dyed dark blue fabric and started Winter Village.  Sorry no pictures yet, I'm hoping to get it finished today with a little luck.  

As I'm sitting here, with the news on in the background, I see that they have elected a new Pope.  Still waiting to hear who they have chosen.  While I admire the last Pope for his love for everyone and his humility, I didn't agree with all his choices.  I wonder what this new Pope will be like?  There has been a lot of speculation...such interesting times we are living in!  

Ok I'm off to get some more stitching in before Mike gets home from work.  Happy Stitching!

Hi DJ: Congratulations on the finish. I am so happy they have chosen an American Cardinal as Pope, Pope Leo the 14th is his new title.
