Yesterday,
Goldie received the USEBB Autumn Quaker Exchange that I sent to her. I am glad she likes it. It was a treat to stitch for Goldie for this round! This is the first scissor pocket I have ever made, and I think it came out pretty well.. with special thanks to
Cathy for sending me the little Velcro coins that I needed for it :-) Thank you, thank you!! You can see the rest of the goodies that I sent to Goldie in her blog.

And, speaking of Victoria's Quaker, here is this week's update.. moving along well, I think, and the new skein of OMG Red (which, I do think means Oh My God Red) matches fairly well... I used it for the lower case alphabet, what do you think? A little lighter, a little more of a berry color than the crimson, right?
Stitched on today: Victoria's Quaker

Carol, you did a wonderful job with Goldie's Autumn Quaker exchange :) It's just so lovely :) Congratulations!!
I received my OMG red as well, but have not used it in my sampler yet. I hope it will match and if not, then a very subtle difference, I am hoping. I think yours looks great :)
Have a great Wednesday!!
I love your Quaker exchange. Its beautiful. I'm sure Goldie will appreciate all your hard work. Your Quaker Sampler is also looking good. The OMG red doesn't stand out that much. Won't be long before you finish. - Sandra.
Love the scissor pocket. Nice color. VQ is looking good. Looks like you are getting close to another finish.
The Quaker Exchange is so beautiful, congratulations! What a great finish, I just love the thread colour, so autumnlike! The Sampler is wonderful, I love this WIP :)
I admired your Quaker pocket on Becky's smalls collection blog - you did a tremendous job with it!
As for Victoria's Quaker - it is GORGEOUS. :)
That scissor pocket just ... rocks! It's fabulous, Carol! And of course, VQ is always such a delight to watch. :)
Oh my! That's one beautifully stitched and fabulously finished scissors pocket!! The colours are so perfect!
Your exchanges and gifts are always so beautiful :)
I've just stitched the scissors and fob on VQ - I will try try try to post a piccie this week :) I ran out of black *sigh* but my parcel came from Kaz today YAY!!! She's sooooo good!
Scissor´s pocket is such a beauty !! The pattern is so lovely although I am not so fond of autumn colours like Lennu ;-) I am sure that Goldie loves it !
The scissors pocket is gorgeous, but I do love Victoria's Quaker!
The scissor pocket looks fantastic and VQ is coming along well.
The OMG red looks great for the LC letters on VQ and the entire piece is looking so beautiful! You did a fantastic job on the scissor pocket!
All of your wips are looking fabulous Carol. LOL at the Red Sox clip, looks like an Irish dance of sorts. I don't think the OMG red looks too different, VQ looking lovely.
Oh wow! I missed so many updates from you while I was on vacation, I can't believe it. You've been very busy. I absolutely love the scissor pocket you made, its gorgeous. All of your progress pictures are wonderful.
Lovely progress pic and a very cute scissor pocket. Lucky Goldie!
The scissor pocket for Goldie is beautiful - as ever :) I think the new OMG goes really well with the old OMG - it is a bit lighter, but it looks 'by design' rather than 'by accident'.
What a gorgeous scissors pocket - congratulations on a beautiful finish. The little velcro closure is cute,too.
Thank you for sharing all these progresses Carol. Ann.
I love the scissor pocket! You would never know this was your first attempt~ it came out beautifully :-D
I love your scissors pocket you did for Goldie...BRAVO you!!!
And VQ looks great...again effortless....and the OMG Red is a little more pinkish/berryish, but I think it blends very well...don't you? Looks great!
Your scissor case is beautiful!! Great job:)
That is a lovely scissor pocket. You have done a wonderful job. I love your Quaker exchange. The new color blends well.
Carol, you did an amazing job with this! I hear it's your first-I just can't believe it. Love it!
I love the little case - it's so pretty. The colors are beautiful! Your Quaker is looking so pretty! It looks like it's almost done!
Wow, that scissor pocket is absolutely gorgeous!!!
Oh thats a beautiful pocket! Good job! Love the quaker too. xx
gorgeous scissor pocket!!!
Your scissor case turned out lovely, and your Quaker Sampler is looking great too. The red does seem to work well, although as you say it appears a little lighter and redder than the other skeins you had. However, since are individual motifs it shouldn't present to much of a problem.
