Tropical Quaker

I am trying to get my stitching legs back....  Last night I dug out Tropical Quaker by WDC Designs from an issue of The Gift of Stitching Magazine.  I had done the first three motifs at some point last year.  Was able to get quite a bit done last night.  I had to put Santa's Village aside for a little bit to let my SAL mate do some catching up.  I am using Weeks Dye Works 30 ct Parchment Linen and the called for HDF silk package for this....  loving the colors so much.  My iPhone pic does not do it any justice at all...

Happy Monday, folks.  I am taking a mental health day today.  Probably off to luch at Olive Garden with Mike, relax, clean the hardwood floors in the kitchen and dining room....  later read or stitch...  hope you are all well!

I love this piece and the colors you're working with. Are these the colors called for? Love the combination. Beautiful work.

Glad you're taking a "for me" day. That's what I call them. Do nothing at all or anything I want. The Olive Garden is always good.

Such vibrant colours! This is going to be lovely.
I think the occasional mental health day does wonders for one's well being. I hope you had a most enjoyable day.
