There are certainly some lovely things to choose from and the Mermaid Box is already whispering to me. I need to study a little more before I decide, but there certainly are some stunning things out there. You just had to ask about Toccata didn't you? lol It's all kitted up and sitting at the top of the pile but I have yet to put needle to fabric. I've suddenly been struck with guilt about the gifts I owed. I've got one almost done, another just started and one that is already up on the wall at my sister-in-law's house. It definitely will be next. Lucille |

Drooling How Much Stash is too much
Ooh, that's nice. I like the Calla Lily: http://www.merreydesign.com/Calla.html I second Sampler Cove - I have Thriller in my stash: http://www.samplercovedesigns.com/co...riller_big.jpg On another note, today at HL I noticed they are carrying some more Jack Dempsey stuff (or at least it's a first for my HL) - They had the boy and girl sampler: http://www.jdneedleart.com/searchres...?CategoryID=16 Last Supper: http://www.jdneedleart.com/searchres...?CategoryID=18 and a couple of others. Even if it's not my thread in the needle, it's nice to see something beside XS there! Linda |

Elizabeth LOL - another of the us thinking alike. I so love Martina's Mermaid box. It was one of those rare moments in the shop when I really say "I'm going to grab that" and too late - gone - and I'm sad. It is a gorgeous piece - I had even studied through the whole chart/instructions. So, undoubtedly I'll just order it soon... Ellice |

Lol Umm, well, since you got that just about when I got the other Toccata - which is still a virginal kit. And my Love & Wisdom piece is still sitting at the 35% done point. But, that is coming up into rotation. It's all kitted up and sitting at the top of the pile but I have yet to put needle to fabric. I've suddenly been struck with guilt about the gifts I owed. I've got one almost done, another just started and one that is already up on the wall at my sister-in-law's house. It definitely will be next. I understand. I've been spending much time stitching teaching pieces - which I like, but wouldn't be my first choice necessarily. And those really have to be done. Ellice |
