I completely forgot to post pictures of my lovely new stash. Sorry Faith :)

I love the card you put with it. I just finished stitching the same one for my mother in law for mothers day and was just thinking how much I'd like to keep it for myself. :)

Never tried the memory thread before so that should be exciting to experiment with and the satin floss is just gorgeous. I have a few projects in mind for them :)

I got my Stashmas present!! :dance: And it was well worth the wait!! I love it all.
Thank you Koko!

I got some very pretty threads, both variegated and metallics. Unfortunately, my picture does not do them justice. I got some even prettier hand-dyed fabric all in 32 count...which is my favorite! The colours from left to right are rock-a-bye, Chablis, Prank and Relic. I'm already starting to plan what to stitch on them.

I also got a fantastic Christmas book. There are so many great patterns, I can't decide which to do first! It even has patterns to decorate socks. :D

It was the perfect Stashmas present. Thank you so much Koko, you've given me hours of stitching joy! :hug:

So everyone ow has ther Stashmas gifts? Hurrah!!! We can now draw this exchange to a close (and not before time, either!).

Thank yo uto everyone who too part and especially to those who agreed to send replacement gifts to those who didn't receive their original gifts - it's people like you who make sorting out the aftermath so much easier!

I hope everyone enjoyed the exchange.

Look out around September for this year's Stashmas details appearing. :)

Great gifts! I have that Christmas book, it was so helpful this past year! Here's a couple towels I made, sorry for the terrible picture, that's why I hadn't bothered to post it. But there were fairly quick and a beautiful design.

And I can't wait to join Stashmas this year! I'll keep an eye out in September.
