Queen of the Needle

Papillon Mystery Sampler, Queen of the Needle, Quilting, Stash, Stitching / June 14, 2007 by Michelle / 26 Comments

QOTN 061407

I have made some progress on my Queen of the Needle piece. Someone asked if this is was a special piece. Nan, Just Nan that is, did a special class for The Silver Needle last year and this was the piece from that class. It is a sampler case and you stitch the inside and the outside of the case. It is a trifold case, and the inside has a place for needles, pins, a 3″ square, an inspiration photo, etc. I am stitching the outside of the case and am almost finished with 1/3 of the outside. As you can see, the outside is stitched on this pink and white gingham fabric with Splendor Silks. The inside is stitched on solid pink fabric. Nan has since released some companion pieces to this Queen of the Needle case, such as the Queen of the Needle Sampler, Queen’s Heart and the latest, the Queen’s Bluebird Box.

The shape of the box is the same as the Just Nan limited edition Trick Or Treat ort box that was a Silver Needle exclusive piece a couple of years ago.

Trick Or Treat

I have that in my stash too (I think I may need to stop with the Just Nan stuff…I’m getting a crazy pile of it). I have the bluebird box on order, as it was too cute to pass up. One of these days I will finish up some of these Just Nan pieces I have (Barnabee’s Quest, Baby Garden, a million limited edition WhimZis, my Trick Or Treat box, my Lady Scarlet box, and the list goes on and on. But, back to the original point. I am making good progress on my sampler case, which I am pleased with.

I decided last night to pull out my Papillon Creations Mystery Sampler and start on Part 2. I love working on this piece every time I pick it up. It is such a joy to stitch on.

Leannes House 061407

And yesterday’s mail brought another monthly installment of the Leanne’s House quilt. So tempting to start, but I really must get my kimonos finished.

Thank you for your compliments on Hamlet. I was able to sleep last night without him on my head, so he must be totally back to his old self.

I am grateful for perseverance.

    Queen of the Needle is beautiful! I truly didn’t realize that it would be so pretty when I passed on it after it came out. 😉

Happy Sunday, friends! This piece was a mystery sa Happy Sunday, friends! This piece was a mystery sampler published in the first five issues of The Gift of Stitching magazine beginning in February of 2006. I started this in 2007 and finally finished it several years later, turning it into a ten year anniversary sampler for Eric and I. I chose my fabric based on what Carol of Garden of Stitches chose for hers. I ran out of one of the Vikki Clayton silks midway through this piece and @senoritastitches kindly lent me some of hers so I could finish (this was pre-Vikki returning to dyeing).
 
I really love this piece with its motifs and specialty stitches, so I wanted to share it for both #xstitchsamplersunday and #saltboxstitcherweeklysamplerpal - @carolfun53 has been doing her #xstitchsamplersunday for about a year now, so I highly recommend taking a look at all the beautiful pieces shared on that hashtag.

For the first Friday the 13th of the year and #dar For the first Friday the 13th of the year and #dark13stitching @eclecticpossessions suggested we work on Tombstone Spots. We started this piece last year on the only Friday the 13th of 2022 and I think I’ve worked on it a couple times since then. Really love this piece and happy to have it out again.
