New Stash

A few things arrived from some orders I made recently....


The first one is Beatrix Potter Spring by Green Apple from 123 Stitch. I've been in search of some Beatrix Potter designs for my daughter, she is a HUGE fan.  Originally, the plan was just to make a picture and frame it, but I was really inspired by Margaret's recent book finish for her god-daughter and am thinking about doing a few of these up and making them into a Beatrix Potter picture book for my daughter for Christmas. 

 Next, is some much needed linen. These are all fat quarters and two are in Antique White, but one is 28 count and the other is 32 count.  The the darker one is Antique Ivory in 28 count cashel linen.

There was recently another weekend sale at Victoria Sampler where she was selling some of their original design at 50% off.  The site said that Yvonne's designs will be retired soon, so, I ordered a couple of her designs and some of Thea's origninals as well.  Above you can see Thea's "White Christmas," Yvonne's "A Mother's Heart Sampler," and Yvonne's "Welcome Sampler."

These two are also part of Victoria Sampler's 50% off sale.  I ordered "Crystal Waters Sampler" and "Fresh Air Sampler" from the Four Element series.

And finally, these are all fo the accessory packs to go with the charts.  They were 50% off too.

I didn't take a pic of Eastern Seaboard Sampler with my latest progress.  I have worked on it a little bit, but not enough to warrant a photo.  I have been busy getting my daughter ready to go to Alberta.  She flew out this morning at 6am from Moncton, and arrived safely at 2pm this afternoon.  To make her flight we had to leave here at 3am, so, I'm a bit sleepy this afternoon. 

I'm off to get some stuff done, like fondly my new stuff haha and just relax and if I get enough energy, I might even stitch.  I hope everyone has a good weekend!
