Last week after I finished stitching My Lady's Quaker from Jardin Prive, I sent the designer, Nathalie, a photo of my work. Much to my surprise and delight, she sent me back a photo of An Emblem of Love.
Nathalie wrote that she stitched An Emblem of Love over her summer holidays in 2008. She uses the summer time to stitch designs other than her own. Nathalie stitched An Emblem of Love on Zweigart's Edinburgh (36-count) Sand linen with one ply of embroidery thread over two linen threads. Isn't her piece lovely?

It is quite lovely. Congrats on a great finish and the info on the threads, GREAT info!
Thanks for listing your choices of thread for My Lady's Quaker. I really like how it turned out. I hope to get it stitched some day,too.
I love the fact that both you and Nathalie stitch other designers's works and not just your own, that is the sign of a true embroiderer in my opinion.
A mutual admiration society!
I love how your My Lady's Quaker turned out and Nathalie's finish is beautiful also.
