Need:
Q Snaps (have a 6x6 only)
Q Snap huggies/covers - purchased or hand made

I am just now discovering different types of threads and fabrics...I've always used white/beige aida and regular ol' DMC floss. So, any type of specialty thread or fabric for me to try would be great (hand dyed, over dyed, linen, perles, variegated, shimmery, etc.)

I have never done anything with beads.

It can be newly purchased or something from your stash!!

My home décor/style is similar to what you find in Bent Creek designs

Don't need:
Aida
DMC
marking tools (pens, thread, etc.)
scroll frames
charts and kits (I LOVE them but have more than I can complete in 4 lifetimes!!)

I would be delighted to receive from my Stashmas friend

My greatest like would be to receive interesting embroidery threads:
solid colours of pearl cotton (either Anchor or DMC),
Caron threads
Almost any interesting floss
I'm quite fascinated to try out something from the new range of Sulky 12 wt petite threads on the spool, especially black (thinking about my HAEDs here) -- but only if my Stashmas person is sending from the US! (I'd be :( if a UK/EU member paid over the odds to import it, as it's not available in the UK... yet[?])
small stuff like needles, magnets, etc., are always very welcome
"pass along" stash, even.

I don't require
*religious, fairies or twee-ness
*fabric, unless it's really special (you should see my stash... :oops: )

Otherwise, hey, it's STASHMAS!
