Post all your lovely gifts here!


Here are mine:


I the matching gift tag and card that Jo stitched. Can't wait to try out Mabel's chart that was also kitted up (including a lovely needle holder).

my presents. Thanks Jo!

[jocellogirl]

Really pleased you like them Tracy . Let me know if you run out of thread for Mabel's design. I stitched it myself after I'd sent yours, mainly to check that I'd sent enough thread, and I think one of the colours was a bit neat

the gifts!!!!!!!!!

[Squirrel]

Tracy - they are gorgeous. Love the hardanger and what a beautiful card and ornament too. Aren't we spoilt.


The pics I've posted here and the description as well as a close up of Mr Squirrel are in the ITS STASHMAS!!!!!!! thread which was the first one I saw. So hop over there and have a look.

Rose - is there a way to combine to the 2 threads???

Lovely gifts. There is another thread going on also, with gifts that were also opened by members experiencing summer. Have to keep an eye on both threads to check on everyone.

Eta: great idea Sally to combine the threads, if it can be done. If not we'll have to be checking both of them.

Rose - is there a way to combine to the 2 threads???

What, combine threads in a cross-stitch forum????

Here's mine.

I got a DMC box of 30 threads, some 28 ct aida fabric, an owl ornament, some perle cotton threads, also inside the card was too pictures of some real life owls.

[Squirrel]

Great stash Victoria, owls seems to be very popular and how lovely to see pictures of live ones. I've only ever seen one - in a sanctuary and he was asleep.

[rcperryls]

Lovely Stashmas gift, Victoria. Owls are really amazing birds to see as well as to stitch. I didn't know that Aida fabric came in 28 ct. I guess I never thought a out it. That is a lovely shade also.

I got up early this morning to open my present from Trylla and I have been totally spolit
Firstly they were all wrapped so beautifully in gorgeous red paper (I love red )

And here is what I got:

LOADS of gorgeous threads, needles, fabric, a HAED chart that I have had on my wish list for a while which I am soooo pleased with and a gorgeous hand made kimono cushion and a beautiful hand made card


Thank you so much Trylla. Your gifts are so kind and generous. You have really made my day

[Squirrel]

WOW Vanessa, really fabulous Stashmas things. great buying Trylla. This is so exciting watching everyone else open up their gift boxes..

[jocellogirl]

What a fabulous idea Stashmas is!!! Everyone has had such beautiful gifts.
I've just opened my parcel from Diana.

I'm spoiled, than you Diana. There were four pieces of fabric in beautiful colours, two spools of beautiful hand painted Japanese silk, two skeins of Crescent colours floss to match the fabric, a skein of rainbow blending thread, a packet of Piecemakers size 26 needles which I've heard so much about but can't get hold of over here, some very patriotic red, white and blue floss and the cutest little button

Thank you so much Diana. It is just perfect and I'm grinning from ear to ear

My lovely gifts from Angel, can't wait to get started!

Megan (enders princess) sent me a bunch of wrapped gifts in beautiful silver and gold paper that I had a lot of fun trying to guess before Stashmas day. But finally I know!


A very cool chart for a tiger bookmark from Celtic Rose Needlecraft, a beautiful piece of 32 ct Jobelan in summer sky, 2 WDW in Blue spruce (the green one) and Americana (the blue one) and Caron Watercolours in Abalone. Also some spare bobbins, always useful!

And the piece de resistance, a beautiful biscornu in blues and green!

I got a wonderful hand stitched card

I've been wonderfully spoilt. I love everything! I'm already trying to figure out what to use the fabric and threads for....

Such lovely gifts everyone!

Here are the gifts from Victoria (Talenaya) all beautifully wrapped:


And here they are all opened up:


from left to right: some lovely marbled aida cloth, a cute stocking ornament, a card with pandas on it (so so cute), a 6 pk of perle #8 variegated thread, 2 colors of Lizbeth #20 tatting thread (Island Punch and Caribbean), a cute floss organizer, and some gorgeous DMC color variations floss in colors I've been wanting but unable to find anywhere.

I feel quite spoiled.

edit: I should add, inside the card there was an apology about Thor opening up the fabric and stating that Ariel picked out the colors at JoAnn's. Ariel has excellent taste.

[Lottie]
