Once I took the Weeks Dye Works thread off my head, I actually used it for stitching.
This is how I stitched my first set of initials and the date:
And now the re-stitched initials initials and date:
I’m happy now.
I finished Aury’s 2009 4th of July Quaker this morning, too. What a fun design! I wanted it to finish big, so I used 19 ct. linen, stitched it over two threads, and used 3 strands of regular old DMC. Maybe I’ll put it on top of the TV today while we’re watching the USA in the World Cup. For luck, you know.
I see that some of you have started the 2010 design. I’ll probably get to that one next year.
Have a great weekend, gang!

YOur initials on Lo are perfect! Cute patriotic finish!
Your change on the initials really made a difference. I like where you put the date too. Great job on the whole project, congrats on a finish.
Cute little patriotic pillow, hope it does the trick!!!

I liked your initials before but I really love them now. It was a good choice to change it up.
Cute pillow for the 4th. Wonderful!
Congratulations on a very beautiful finish!
Thanks also for your lovely comment on my blog.
I am still so nervous about this blogging world but have already made wonderfully helpful friends to tote me along by my pigtails.
Have a peaceful weekend!

Beautiful finishes. I like the revised initials and date better also.
Love th little pillow....may have to borrow to finish mine!
Both your finishes are wonderful, but I especially love Lo. I pulled my chart out today because I need a new start and I think that maybe Lo will be it. Seeing your picture really inspired me to get going on mine!
Love it!!! Much better, it really fits with the design :-). Cute pillow too.
Yep! I think that did it! Lo is lovely!!
And your Quaker Heart finish is too cute!
It's amazing what a simple change in your initials could do, Lee--perfection!!
Your Quaker Heart pillow is just great--too bad it didn't help the USA in the World cup. Oh well... I really need to stitch up that freebie, too. I have very few patriotic pieces compared to what I have for other holidays.
Ahhh, the second go-round of initials works much better! Lovely!
Both look great. Love the heart pillow. Too bad about the USA team, though. DH is heart-broken.
