Lindsey Weight of Primrose Cottage is a new designer to me. I LOVE her Quaker series and plan to stitch all of the seasons. Christmas Quaker is the first one I have stitched. I bought both the chart and the finishing kit for this one. The finishing kit included the floss, backing fabric, a piece of wool for the back and the rickrack trim.

The chart recommended 28ct mushroom 2 over 2, I chose a piece of 28ct white Lugana I had in my stash. I used the cherry cobbler floss for everything except the tree. I stitched that with Victorian Motto Sampler Shoppe Kris Kringle Green.

I’ll probably wait and finish it once I have stitched Winter Quaker which is next up. I decided not to use the backing fabric that came with the finishing kit. Instead, I used something I had in my stash.


Christmas Quaker is a beautiful finish, Pat. I like the Quakers they have come out with. I liked the way you stitched the tree and might borrow your idea. I did stitch the Autumn one back on the fall.
