A Little More Stash

We got our taxes back recently, so I decided to help out the economy some by getting a few more things from Down Sunshine Lane.

Lizzie Kate "Aging Artfully," Blackbird Designs "Summer Iris," Carriage House Samplings "AaHRH," LHN "Needle and Thread Sampler."

40 ct. Lakeside Linen "Sand Dune" and Thread Gatherer "Rusty Amber."

I thought I could resist Autumn at Hawk Run Hollow, but that picture Glenna took at In Stitches kept coming back to me and couldn't resist any longer. I'm not sure when I'll actually get around to stitching it - Maybe in the fall. I did work on Shores of Hawk Run today (I'll post a pic tomorrow). I'm really enjoying it. I thought I would mention that the dyeing of the Summer Khaki with Tan Rit Dye wasn't my idea. It was Tanya's from The Scarlett House. She dyed her fabric for her Harriet Burry Sampler the same way. It makes a great fabric color, so I want to thank Tanya and give her credit for such a great idea!

I also got a few of the new Shepherd's Bush kits (My Land, Lucky and Patriotic Scissor Fob). My favorite is "My Land." I love the fabric and threads. I really fell in love with it after seeing Coni's wip (scroll down). It's so pretty. I think it will make a great companion to my "Finch Song."

Shepherd's Bush Kit "My Land." Included in the kit are Various Silk threads and 30 ct. Parchment Linen by WDW.

Tomorrow, Matthew (my three year old) and I are going to head up to Amy's for lunch. I had originally planned to go on Saturday, but I found out that my son Jake, who is seven, is having his very first soccer game - ever. I couldn't miss it - he's so excited! I felt bad that I wasn't going to be able to make it to Amy's because 1. It's her birthday and 2. I promised her a cake! I told her I would make it up to her somehow and it worked out that we could meet up tomorrow. Hopefully the weather will cooperate for my drive up!

Write soon!

  12. Great stash Nicole. I picked up a lot of the same things that you did. Hard to resist them. I saw Tanya's post about the Rit Dye too, but I'm scared to death to try it, but it does give some great results!!

  15. You have some really nice stash there Nicole! I also think that the new Shepherd's Bush will go good with Sail Away and Finch Song. I love them all and hope to get My Land eventually too! Hope you have a wonderful time for Amy's Birthday!

  17. Great stash!!! I couldn't resist Autumn either. :) I ordered the chart first and then decided I better grab the fabric while it is still available.

    Good luck to your son in his soccer game.

    Have fun with Amy (and show us your stash when you get back). :)

  18. Excellent stash - the Thread Gatherer looks so pretty on that fabric! I probably won't be able to resist Autumn AHRH much longer either.
