Postie has just brought my order from 123stitch--3 kreinik threads and 2 containers of seed beads for my Iris fairy. Also some Caron's threads to do some more hardanger stitching.
He also brought me 2 cds of Josh Groban that I recently won from ebay

[Trylla]

Postie brought me my order from ABC Stitch Therapy!! I received Just Nan's Ice Blossom chart and the embellishment kit that goes with it. I so want to start this, but I have too many things on the go right now!

I got two of the wedding invitation samples I ordered today...Nice picture, but low quality...I'm seriously contemplating just making my own.

[Lisa]

3 free threads I also accidentally ordered 2 variegated. I also got a brown, I thought it was black, it looked black on my screen, and I ordered them before I knew about knocking the 00 off

[Slinky]

A whole bunch of new threads from my fav Aussie thread compnay, Cottage Garden Threads!!

I'm off to play with my new stash ....

[Lili]

[Cecilia]

My order from Tandem Cottage arrived today: Grab bag of different count Aida (white/off white) and 5 skeins of Anchor threads.

[XandraS]

Beautiful floss Slinky. Do you order them from Oz or is there a uk distributor? What are they like with price and postage etc? (not that I need more floss really)

I'm with you Rosemary! What a beautiful bouquet of threads--I think I may have a case of thread envy now!! Great stash Slinky!!

[Nina]

I got two huge pieces of 25ct Lugana

I haven't found a UK distributor online. Evidentally there is one because I bought my first couple of threads from a stitching show here, but I can't recall who they were. I went online, found the company's site (they're only a little company), emailed them directly & they sent me a Paypal invoice & mailed them out to me. (btw, what's "need" got to do with it )

Oh Slinky they are gorgeous! Are they stranded cottons?

Yes they are. They also do perle, ribbon, felt & ric-rac, all in their variegations. The ric-rac looks fabulous. As does the felt ....

Have found an Australian stockist here with colour chart & prices.
I think AUS$6.60=£4.15=US$6.60=€4.88. So, as I say, not the cheapest ... but oh so wonderful.
(The biscornu & stitching bits in my gallery were done using their Damask Rose if you want to see how it stitches up.)

[Midge]

Oh, they are lovely, such beautiful colours.

[Mabel Figworthy]

Thanks for the link, Slinky! Perles, hmmmm
What's ric-rac?

[Vega]

Just received some beautiful threads from karen4bells!

The #4 metallic, is that a thread I would use 1 full strand or does it separate like cotton floss? And I absolutely LOVE the color!!

[XandraS]

I was ordering a bell pull hanger from sewandso for the hanging I'm doing for my mum. And of course it seemed a shame to only get one thing, so decided to try Tentakulum Painter's Threads. I got 4 of the stranded cottons,
(L to R) Van Gogh - Renoir - Kandinsky -Gauguin

[Serinde]

it's obvious that the forum's stealth jet is going to be needed to "liberate" these luscious threads... *now, where did i put my flying ace jacket...*
