I first saw the finished piece called Quaker Diamond in one of my Facebook groups for cross stitch. I went in search of the chart but could not locate it anywhere so assumed it is/was Out of Print. I posted in another group that I was In Search Of this chart and another stitcher was able to locate it for me. Once the chart arrived, I realized the alphabet was stitched over 1 thread which is hard on my eyes to see.
I selected a piece of 28ct cream Monaco that I had in my stash as the fabric and a hank of Mo’s Coral silk floss that I had just purchased. I started stitching the first part of February (not sure of exact date) and love it so far. May be another story when I get to the over one part.
I finished the easy part – stitching over two. All that is left if the over one for the alphabet, date, and my initials.
March 9, 2022 – Finished the over one stitching on this one. Messed up the spacing in the center but decided I was not going to frog over one stitches with one strand of silk floss. I can live with it.
I used a simple frame I got off Amazon. Not quite as elegant as mu usual custom frames but much less expensive.
You are off to a good start on this beautiful Quaker, Pat. Have a good weekend!
