It’s not not IF you will recover but WHEN you will.
You can NEVER have too many cross stitch patterns!

Re: Stashmas 2012 WISH LISTS
Threads -Mostly DMC but I'm open
Fabric -High counts (25 and above) since I'm trying to get some HAEDs done
Patterns - Owls, Dragons, Celtic Knots
Threads: Rayon
Patterns: Bright Cartoony
What I need: Fabrics for doing HAEDs -Maybe in some earthy tones since I have some Cari Buziak designs. Card making things -I was thinking about stitching my own cards this year for Christmas.
I'll really enjoy anything that comes.

Re: Stashmas 2012 WISH LISTS
I am a DMC girl at heart but like gentle art sampler threads and simply shaker threads. I really like using variegated threads and would love some more to play with.
I work on all types of fabric and prefer 16 and 18 count aida.
I landscapes of all kinds, birds, flowers, geometric patterns. Not fond of fantasy, unicorns, dragons or the like.
I use the stitchbow system and you can never have enough stitch bows! I am really entralled with scissors right now too
Anything my stashmas sender sends will be loved and appreciated. Thank you in advance

Re: Stashmas 2012 WISH LISTS
OK I've been giving this some thought so here is my list.

Threads - silks, over dyes, variegated.
kits (small ones only please) or charts - Christmasy ones especially the Norwegan/Swedish elves; fairies/angels; flowers; scenes with trees/gardens and a pathway; animals especially squirrels/field mice/birds.
Dislikes

I will be more than happy with whatever is sent and am generally very easy to please.
