Rose Quaker is Finished!

Happy Dance with me, blogging buddies!  I finished Rose Quaker this week.  If you are regular reader, you have seen me post one finished page per month since March (except for the month that I stitched two pages because I just couldn't stop). 

It is stitched on 25 count ivory lugana with DMC floss ( I changed one color) with one strand over one fabric thread.  I can't imagine how big this would be if I did it over 2 on 28 or 32 count!  It's big enough this way!

I am very, very pleased with it.  I didn't stitch the words 'a token of love' in the red wreath that is in the center near the top.  I think I will put my initals and year in there, but I need to think on that a bit and decide what alphabet to use. 

I will be framing this one, but probably not until May when my LNS has their annual framing sale. I will miss spending a few days each month with 'Rosie'.... but there are so many other things that need to be stitched.....
