2013 Downstairs Project - Quaker Addict

This is my new downstairs project.  I started on this right after the first of the year.  It is called Quaker Addict.  The pattern is done by the same company that published as I referred to it "the lady on the swing."  I can tell you the pattern is written in French.     I used 30 Ct. linen, in a mauve/pinkish color.  I also used the gentle arts threads.  I am down to the last little corner.  Which is probably a good thing, as my plans for tomorrow is to go to "IN STITCHES" in Alexandria to purchase fabric for some of my projects.  Last week, we went to a cross stitch store in Haymarket, the name was Needle in the Haymarket.  I was lucky enough to purchase 2 patterns, which were marked 60% off, which totaled around $9.  What a bargain.  Speaking of bargains, we have a used book store in Manassas, called McKays.  I go in there occasionally as you never are quite sure what you will find.  I found another Rosewood Manor pattern called American Flag Quilt Sampler.  Originally it was $8.50 for the pattern at "In Stitches,"  I got it for $1.62.  WHOPPEE
