Oh looking at that picture brings up a longing to go back to Paris. I love it there. Your choices are beautiful. I look forward to your progress. In fact I love that picture, where did you get the chart?

that is a lovely looking design. Is that what your most elegant fabric is for? I look forward to updates on this one.

It's a The Silver Lining design. The place I originally ordered this said this was discontinued, so I got it from Ebay for only 1/4 of the original price :)

I'm still contemplating rather to use this or the Crossed Wind hand-dyed fabric suggested by the designer, both would be excellent choice :)

Very pretty fabrics and threads. Do you have plans for them already? Sometimes it is just nice to have the pretty stash "in case" something appropriate comes up.

I'm thinking of using the blue fabric for one or two Christmas Angels from a Joan Elliott's chart pak I bought recently--and the other fabric, is just one I will add to my stash for later. I'm not sure what I'll do with the threads--may work up a couple of Kell's designs using a few of them--it's just so fun to play with colors :D

Theresay I love your fabric--and the chart is fabulous!! :dance:

They have so much fun stuff there to look at--it really is hard to choose--I have a feeling that I will be buying fabric from them in the future, especially if they have another sale :D

I both love and hate this thread.

Love it because of all the pretties you guys are getting.

Hate it because it makes me want to go on a shopping spree, but when I do there is nothing I want to buy.

It's like the latest designs that have been coming out lately just aren't to my taste. Too nostalgic/quaker/samplerish/niave for me :(

Love that Paris chart and the fabric is so pretty.

The Carrie's Creation threads are just yummy and I love those fabrics. Gorgeous colours.

Not technically the postman but the new kits I bought from the NEC Hobbycrafts last week.I didn't realise until I got home that most of them are Christmas designs.The fabric is sparkly it doesn't really show up on the pic.

:applesauce: what a wonderful collection to have. It would be hard to decide which one to do first. This is when rotating projects really becomes understandable.
