I had lovely post today,I received my qsnap frame can't wit to try it and a silk grab bag from polstitches, I got 2 Dinky Dyes and 2 Steff Francis in purple/pink/blue so looking forward to trying them out as well.

I also got 22 ct fine Arios in cream and 25 count Laguna in Light Mocha fabric from Sew and So for a wedding sampler which I am planning on using 1 stand 1 over 1 but not sure which fabric I will use yet will have to experiment.

I received a Margaret Sherry kit as my subscribers gift with Cross Stitch Crazy , it's this one:

I'm looking forward to doing it at some point, once I've got all the other projects done lol

The Margaret Sherry kit is sooo cute

I still havent plucked up the courage to try and stitch on the 25ct Lugana I rec today. If I cant see it I will be soooooo dissapointed and will have to use the 22ct aida

Oh and I got a camera so once I know how to use it and doofer it with the pc hopefully I can put some pics up

I've never heard one count!! I've heard them chink though!!

Yes, a book I got second-hand on Amazon, which MrXStitch told me about -- it's called Cross Stitch Calligraphy, and first has a part about the development of Western script (very interesting to my calligraphy side ), then lots of alphabets and ideas of what to do with them and blackwork patterns and so on!

12 pieces of fabric of ebay a mixture of evenweave and linen and im struggling to tell the difference.

That sounds really interesting Mabel, I will google that one later

Nice haul CC

I had a 18" x 9" one of these http://www.sewandso.co.uk/ran997-0.html" target="_blank" target="_blank
