Today is
Jill's birthday! Happy Birthday Jill! Jill let me know that she received a little gift that I put together for her. I had issues, issues, issues with the assembly of this box! But... well, I have been told that I have to be less critical of myself, so I will just bite my tongue and not talk about it (although I told it all to Jill anyhow). So, if you see my boo boo, well, I can see it too ;-) Anyhow... glad you like it Jill :-)
Peacock Repose BoxThe WorkbasketSilkweaver 32 ct Belfast Solo Linen, Weeks Dye Works FlossThank you all so much for the wonderful feeback and comments on my finish of A Quaker Christmas! I was (am) overwhelmed by how many of you left comments - truly a first in my blog. I appreciate all you have to say. I do not know if I will be able to get this framed for the holiday. Framing is so expensive and we are saving in this poor economy, so I might get it framed as a Christmas gift, but not before...

Carol - I think your box looks perfect and I'm sure that Jill is thrilled!
I know you mean about being self critical though. I just finished a project that was intended as a gift and even though it looks pretty decent, I'm not 100% happy with it and cannot decide what i should do about it
Carol,
This is a lovely box, very pretty design and finishing.
Carol - the box is wonderful. Isn't it strange how so many of us are really critical of what we make and yet adore anything others do! I think the box is perfect and wish my name was Jill :-)
The box is beautiful. I know Jill loves it.
This box is so cute~~ I love the colors of the Peacock!!
It looks perfect and beautifully finished.
Congrads on your Christmas Quaker finished. Its fabulous.
The box is so lovely. To me it just looks perfect and I'm sure the recipient will adore this gift.
It's a beautiful box, and I can't see any boo boos!
What a beautiful box!
I am thrilled with my box. I absolutely love it. I have it displayed on my desk in my room so I can see it all the time. Thanks again. You are a good friend.
Boo boos? What boo boos? Looks beautiful to me.
I am not surprised you have so many hits on QC - your blog is as popular as you - the kind and generous person you are.
I can't see anything wrong with it ;) It's lovely, great choice of design and finishing!
No, I certainly can't see your boo-boo, and even if I could, I think boo-boos are what makes any project special and unique, so there. It's a gorgeous, stunning box, though. Beautiful stitching, as always.
Your box is fantastic and Jill loved it. What a nice birthday gift.
The box is gorgeous Carol, congratulations
Your box is gorgeous Carol. So pretty.
Your finishing looks great and I love the peacock pattern. Happy birthday to Jill!
Well I can't see anything wrong...the box looks perfect to me. I love that pattern and the thread color is fantastic. I'm sure Jill loves it.
Lovely box Carol!
AQC is so beautiful, you need to get it framed. Joann almost always has discounts on custom framing. The flyer I got yesterday had a coupon for 50% off 1 frame through November 15. If you need a coupon, I can send it to you.

Carol, this is an absolutely BEAUTIFUL finish and I don't see anything wrong with it. You did a great job and I'm sure Jill loves it.
Congrats again on your Christmas Quaker..you are such a beautiful stitcher.
Fantastic! I think I might have that pattern (burried), too. I didn't realize it was so awesome
Pretty! Love the colors on this one!
