I didn't even know they sold Weeks Dye....Now I may have to go check that out!

Yeah, I almost bought them for $2.20 at 123 Stitch but good thing I didn't 'cus they were $1.39 on Joann with free shipping. :dance:

Theresay, those silks are gorgeous!

My order from 123 Stitch arrived! :dance:

This was from a gift card my older brother gave me for my birthday.

It includes:
- about 30 skeins of DMC, as all 3 of my HAEDs are sharing a lot of the same colors, I was gonna run out so had to get multiples of several of those colors;
- 2 skeins of Dinky Dyes Silk (silver);
- thread haven (never tried it);
- 12x18 piece of 18ct white Aida (at $1.98 I thought why not);
- 18x21 piece of 18 ct vintage country mocha Aida (for Skitzzzzz's Christmas Bell);
- 18x27 piece of 32ct white Lugana (last thing I needed to finish the kit for my bingo prize, Dracolair's Noon Basking);
- 18x27 piece of 28ct antique white Jobelan (for AAN's Tea);
- Dimensions Snowman & Friends Stocking kit;
- AAN's Tea Chart
- LK's ABCrazy Chart

I'm so excited about new projects and I know my rotation is about to fly off the window!

Gorgeous stash Laura! Looking forward to seeing your SAL for the AAN designs!

My order from Sew and So arrived :dance:

1 piece of 22ct hardanger
Anchor Perle 5 and 8 floss
size 22 needles
some scissors reserved for hardanger
3 skeins of variegated DMC floss for my baby bib.

So excited about the hardanger, but must do the bib first, else my friend's baby will be out of bibs before she even gets to wear this one :lol:

LadyS · **Posted:** Mon Feb 27, 2012 9:27 pm

Nice stash! I hope you get along great with the hardanger!

I'm so glad that HAED patterns come in plastic bags as the envelope they arrived in practically disintegrated in my hands when I took it out of my letterbox last Friday!

Here are my latest acquisitions:

LadyS · **Posted:** Tue Feb 28, 2012 3:48 am

Lots of HAEDs! How exciting! :dance:

I love how the Spanglers are so colorful!

i got my last HAED order ... the Iris, a QS by Wall.

as a QS, it's very small ... 6"x7".

because i'm having so much trouble w/the 25ct, i'm going to do this on regular ol' 14ct aida. that will bring the size up to 9"x10". a much better project for me!

I'm definitely looking forward to watching your progress on that one, it's one that I've thought about getting!!

Such great charts. I came close to getting Spangler's Couch Dragon during that last sale. And love the others you chose also. How will you decide where to start? Patti, looking forward to your update on your QS Iris. That is a lovely chart too. The colors are so pretty. Irises were my mother's favorite flowers and there are so pretty in that design.

What fun. Winning something is always exciting, but to win free tickets to a stitching exhibition. Make sure you fill us all in on everything you see.

Here are a few things that my postman has brought me recently
A recent issue of World of Cross stitch and fabric for my ladybird project

An awesome ebay bargain--$4.99 including shipping for this really nice book

And an order for hand dyed 32 count hand dyed jobelan, in chocolate mint, as well as some silk thread and some hand dyed floss from Youthful Hands Needle Crafts

LadyS · **Posted:** Wed Feb 29, 2012 1:12 am

Lovely stash! :applesauce:

rcperryls · **Posted:** Wed Feb 29, 2012 1:47 am

What pretty stash you got.
And the book looks like you will never have far to search for a pattern.

Gorgeous stash everyone.

Tracy, just love that Quick Break one but I won't be tempted but will watch you do ti.

Karen love that fabric and yes the new WOCS is lovely although a little disappointing for me as I was hoping it was a bluebell chart and note the harebell.
Will keep looking though. That choclate mint fabric is awesome, now I could be tempted with that except for the 32 cnt - would prefer 28cnt. Must check it out.
