Awwwww Sally I love them!!! Can't wait to see them stitched! I have 'Chocolate Bits in Silver Foil' and 'Sweet Tooth' in my stash (check them out on Sew and So not sure if it's the same brand but they do look similar) will have to dig them out at some point! xxx

Del, those are both beautiful. Which will you start first?

Mabel, your fabric is gorgeous, and I'm intrigued by the square hoops.

Nicolle, I'm in love with those cute little critters.

Del, it should be a real joy to stitch both of your angels. The colours are amazing.

Sally, I am really tempted too by the two owls: Their expression is priceless, you can't help but smile when you see them.

My two experimental fabrics arrived yesterday - a cotton canvas and a cotton duck (yes, that's what it's called; no, it doesn't quack :-) ) I haven't uploaded pics to PostImage yet and anyway they don't look that exciting, but if you want to read a bit more about them I wrote about them on FoF

I've heard of cotton duck before....I knew it didn't quack but nor does it look very exciting UNTIL you put one of your wonderful creations on it. 8)

Awww Del that kit is fab! Butterflies and flowers are two of my favourite things :D

The curse of having Paypal money last week meant that I bought another Wrendale. So that's the seventh one now! :doh:

Thank you all! I'm thinking I may start this one after Mavis. There's a new one called 'Poppy Field' which is a fox amongst poppies which is going to be released next February which I plan on getting too! I think they would look great together in a double frame! Liz Blaydon stitched it first and sent it back to Kate Bothy of Bothy Threads. Handy being on their Facebook group as you get to see sneak previews ;)
