If you are already a follower of my friend Laura her blog 'Maude and Mozart' you know we have a great time together stitching at our LNS Inspired Needle in Lemont, IL.
My friends and I are stitching a Jardin Prive 'Quaker du Clefs' together and each one of us has chosen a different linen and thread. Mine is 36ct Pearled Barley with Belle Soie Eiffel Tower and Noir, just like the other Jardin Prive I did. Here you can see them together and I chose the same Mill Hill frame. Instead of the keys I stitched a crown. You might wonder why I didn't want to stitch the keys?? Well they remind me of the logo of the Hotel Concierges:-) The crown one is now being framed by my LNS.
The other finish is the BBD class piece from last years Shepherd's Bush retreat. It will be framed in the tray we got in the class. Just have to ask DH to attach the handles before I can hand it over to Cathy.
Here is the masterpiece....Needleprint's Mary Peacock!!! Beautifully framed by Cathy (Inspired Needle).
Here you can see the detail of the frame, black with a tiny red dot. It picks up the pinks in the piece. I am so happy with it!!!
Happy Stitching!Karin

Mary Peacock is gorgeous. Love all your other pieces too. How wonderful for you to have such a nice group to stitch with. Enjoy!
I love all your pieces! Mary looks so gorgeous, and the frame is wonderful! And the Jardin Prive pieces -- they're going to look so nice hanging together in your house! I love that BBD piece too -- the tray it goes in is so cool. Can't wait to see that all framed up! I love Laura's blog. Every time she writes about you all getting together, I know you're there and having fun. I envy you!

I love your Quaker du Clefs more each time I see it! And, as you predicted, the pieces look beautiful together! The crown was just the perfect substitution.Your Mary Peacock, as are you, is an inspiration to us all.

Karin, I love all of your finishes, but specially MP !!! How gorgeous... and yes, I think the frame is perfect for it !!
Yeah for you for finishing a retreat piece. I've not done one of them. Nothing. Oh well, it was the being there that I loved!
Mary is stunning - congratulations on getting such a beauty stitched and beautifully framed. Love the Jardin Prive pieces - very pretty!
I have never felt compelled to stitch an Ackworth Sampler, but after framing MP, I want to stitch one! I loved all the motifs and the colors - simply beautiful! The frame is perfect, too. Lovely work, Karin. Where will you hang it?
MASTERPIECE!!!!

Happy Easter to you and your family!!! Enjoy the day!
