2016 Deliveries and New Stash Acquisitions

[Nicola Main]

I got my Peter Rabbit kit today after much hunting for it on the internet

[stitchhappy18]

I love your Peter Rabbit. I look forward to seeing him stitched.

[wendywombat]

Result! Worth all the hunting! He's so nice.
I like the Beatrix Potter designs, I've done the Tailor of Gloucester and different design of Peter Rabbit.

[Mabel Figworthy]

I got a box - a box with boxes!



Viking Loom's satin display boxes, two of them jewellery boxes, ready for finishing off some of that pile of neglected projects (I hope...)

[Squirrel]

Nicola, love Peter Rabbit - it is going to be great watching you stitch him up.

Mabel, what an intriguing array of boxes, going to be lots of fun seeing what designs you add to each one.

I can't believe I ordered this chart, but I did. I was just replying to MissMarple's post about dealing with extra fabric and I remembered that I had recently added an HAED chart to my wish list. Haven't purchased any new ones in a very very long time (since I probably have at least 100 in my stash by now ) but I fell in love with this one when I saw it and promised myself that I would get it the next time there was a sale.
And they are having a birthday sale (and its my birthday in a few days) so I got it. I will probably start it but the odds of my ever finishing it are probably 1 in a gazillion. It is Aimee Stewart's Little Dreamer's Tree which is 150w and 999h (which is why I put in a link rather than a picture because you really have to look at it enlarged rather than a thumbnail). I'm thinking I will have to special order the fabric, and figure out what to do with the extra fabric. I know it will be on 28ct, probably lugana, and tent stitched. At least the rows will go fairly quick since there are only 2 pages per row. I will definitely start a thread whenever I get started.

I love the Peter Rabbit and I'm glad you found him.

And boxes - they are so pretty and have so many possibilities.

And Carole - oh my it's gorgeous!

[wendywombat]

Yikes, Carole...that's BIG!! Amazing detail and although i really don't 'do' fairies that's

[Serinde]

Carole, it's only 90 colours. Piece of cake.

[Squirrel]

That is totally gorgeous and oh so beautiful. It might take you just a little while but oh so worth it. When are you going to start it?????

[Jewell Stitcher]

That is so beautiful Carole. I do like Aimee Stewart's designs.

[Jewell Stitcher]

I have a new niece or nephew arriving in November so I have bought this to do for them. I think I will start once I have finished the page I am working on for Big Cats.

[wendywombat]

That's a lovely birth sampler...it has a retro look about it which is timeless!

[kandifloss]

Lovely things. The dreamers tree is huge with so much to look at. Where will it go in your home? I would not know where to start. At the top I suppose so you can roll it up as you go. Or would you work from bottom to top?

Love the baby sampler! So pretty!

When are you going to start it?????

I hope to start Little Dreamer's Tree (which isn't little) once I get the stash and roller frame. (Like I need another project?) 123Stitch will do a special order (I love them. Sent an email asking about it and got a quick reply. They can do it and the difference in price for a 14 x 44 piece of 28 ct lugana special ordered from having to order a 36 x 55 piece is about $25 less besides being so much easier)

I am sure I will start in the upper left corner which is where I start nearly all of my projects, whether they are HAEDs or other designers. I haven't a clue where I will put it, but that is something to worry about only if I ever get close to finishing it.

[Squirrel]

That is a lovely and colourful birth sampler and I am sure it will be appreciated.

[fccs]

I received some happy mail today.

First, some charts from 123stitch (thank you, Carole!!) - I'm seeing a theme, are you?



And an order from eBay - the entire set of Hearts of America charts.

Debby - love the bird ones, fun and quick to do I should think. WOW love the idea of the Hearts of America charts, never heard of them before and they sure look interesting and will be fun to do I am sure.

Maris - what a gorgeous chart that is and will be lovely to stitch. I love working on linen and need to get back to it.

Great stash Ladies.

I've wanted the Wee birds for awhile now - they are so cute and like you said, they look fun and quick. I'm not sure if I'll do them individually or on one piece of fabric (that's what I'm learning toward at the moment).

I've done one Hearts of America - I did Colorado and made it into a Christmas ornament for my kids a few years ago. I have a few kits of the states but decided the books would be a good idea because then I make one for anyone at any time. The fun thing about them is each one features a specialty stitch, so they are educational, too.
