Paradigm Lost... and Goals

Still working away on the motif in the lower left corner :-) Someone asked last week how much more sampler there is to stitch.... well, this motif on the left will bring me to the bottom. What is left is all the empty space to the right - which is not so very much :-)

Does anyone else love the Quaker Seasonal Set in the new issue of The Gift of Stitching as much as I do? I think I might coordinate to get the linen and called for silks for this set. The colors are amazing!

Oh, yeah, Carol, I LOVE the Quaker series from this month's TGOSM mag! I immediately printed the charts out and they are laying on my table, deciding which colors they want to be stitched in. ;)

OH! I completely forgot to read my Gift of Stitching after I downloaded it so now I did and now I'm jumping on that Quaker seasonal bandwagon...and with my just arrived tax refund I just might be clicking over and ordering the kit for a treat... I bought Paradigm Lost after watching it grow in your SAL. Thanks for all the enabling - what a pro!
