Stashmas 2012 WISH LISTS

Post by dwitt »

FAO everyone who is taking part in Stashmas 2012:

Please post a little something saying what kind of things you like and dislike on this thread - one post per participant - just to help your Stashmas sender out and make sure you don't receive something you hate.

Please remember that the price limit for Stashmas is:

£10.00 (or the local currency equivalent - currently approximately)
12.49 EURO
$16.12 USD
$15.73 CAD
$15.43 AUD


(obviously conversion rates differ daily, but please be sensible about it), so please don't list a load of expensive charts you'd like as you'll be disappointed! That said, the kind/count of fabrics you enjoy using, the colours and makes of floss/silks etc, what kind of styles you enjoy or a few charts or kits (within the price limit) you would like would be very helpful to your sender!

Please post by midnight (EST) September 30th.

PLEASE ONLY POST WISHLISTS - NO CHATTER - TO KEEP THINGS EASY TO FOLLOW.

I am a DMC girl at heart but like gentle art sampler threads and simply shaker threads. I really like using variegated threads and would love some more to play with.

I work on all types of fabric and prefer 16 and 18 count aida.

I :love: landscapes of all kinds, birds, flowers, geometric patterns. Not fond of fantasy, unicorns, dragons or the like.

I use the stitchbow system and you can never have enough stitch bows! I am really entralled with scissors right now too :D

:D Anything my stashmas sender sends will be loved and appreciated. Thank you in advance :D

Would love to receive:
fabric: any count above 16 or colour, although dyed would be cool, and I love evenweaves
threads: would love to try Dinky Dyes (oops bag!), any silks, but also love WDW and many others
favourite colours: blues and greens
charts: HAED, realistic tigers, wolves, basset hounds

Dislikes:
cutesy charts, Anchor threads (rather have DMC), DMC metallics, low count aida

but I'll be happy with whatever I receive. :D

Things I could use more of:

Threads: Lizbeth (20 or larger) or perle(pearl) cotton threads in fun colors (solid or multi-color) for my tatting projects, DMC color variations threads
Cloth: 14, 16, 28, or 32 ct (evenweave, not linen) in hand-dyed, marbled, or sparkly colors.
Patterns/kits: Blackwork designs in Art Nouveau, Japanese or Art Deco styles
Stitchy books: any of the blackwork ones on my amazon wishlist

These aren't actually dislikes so much as I have plenty of these in my stash already and don't need more at this point:

Threads: DMC solids and metallics
Cloth: 14 ct Charles Craft, 28 ct Monaco in white/antique white
Patterns/kits: any standard cross stitch designs
