It is so difficult to look at cross stitch web sites without thinking I ‘d like that and so.... these last few days it lead me to ebay. Wahooooo and we all know where that will lead..STASH !!
I found some cross stitch and hand dyed fabric all advertised by Sandra and so the bidding started I really wanted a DMC kit, ‘Lavender in a Pot’ and Just Nan, ‘Catnip Tea’ I haven't ever stitched a Just Nan design before and SS are having a Just Nan SAL so I might just join in the fun.With the Just Nan chart, which had the beads needed, Sandra had generously included the two HD floss' that are needed for the design. The hand dyed 28c linen is gorgeous (or lush in Stacy's words, I do miss that programme!) One is a pale lemony colour and the other a sort of Lavender shade.
Of course when you have a lot of charts, which I now have, (although not as many as some!!) you need the fabric and this 10 lots of fat quarters even weave
was a real bargain so how could I resist. Aren't the colours fab!!
I didn’t get the DMC kit which I really, really, really wanted.. so I just thought I ‘d look around and wow I found the very same kit and I got it for a fraction of the price it should be. Such excitement I rushed home today from my Writing Group session just to make sure my highest bid hadn’t been topped, and I am now waiting for its delivery!
And to go with the fabric are some DMC threads from my trusted seller Kat who's prices and service is second to none.

The fbric lookslike BengalTigers lol I have used him a lot..but not this year sigh.
Lovely looking at your stash though...mentally making shopping lists for next year lol
Super finds! I love the multi colors of fabric.
I'm glad you like the fabric Chris, I'll keep my eyes peeled for your progress pics when you stitch the Just Nan.
LOVELY stash. Have fun.
What great finds to add to your stash. I see lots of happy hours of stitching in your future...hugs, Linda
Looks as though you've bagged yourself some bargains Chris. Ax
Chris I just love the look of those evenweave fabbys and that lilac colour one. Nice Lavender chart too .See you over at SS then with the Just Nan. I am doing 4 wishes.Take care you and keep stitching!
WOW lots of nice stash, you'll soon be addicted to the Just Nans, they have that effect on people.
Still not decided on my colour choice for the Isabell SAL, but i think we better make a start this month, so i'll make a final choice this week and hopefully have a progress pic later in the month. How much are you hoping to get done in a month??
Looks like you will be keeping happily entertained for a while :)
Wow I feel like going shopping now:0).Enjoy it.
Wow, that's a VERY nice stash haul - love the lavender pot design. Looks like you're going to be busy for quite some time. LOL Have saved Kat's link to look at later, thanks. :0)
