    I would buy this
    Siberian Snow

    and probably a couple of Michael Powell kits although I am not sure which ones !
  • I would probably have a good long look at HAED website.

    Though knowing me, I would end up putting it in the savings. :o

    Ok - just to get you all drooling over and sharing your favourite kits....

    Q - If you were given £100 to spend on stitchy stash only, what would you buy?

    :D:D:D

    humm... :think:

    nope, i'm not answering this one! it'd mean me going and having a nice noodle around some internet shops, waisting half an hour, and possibly spending money:naughty:. so nope.

    i've 3 kits in my stash, + a few mag freebies, and a list as long as my arm to stitch from books and mags... you will Not draw me into the dark side! :rotfl:

    Flat Eric - thanks, you just had to make me look didn't you?!?

    little chickadee from sew & sew: http://www.sewandso.co.uk/Products/Chickadee__HER-LFCD1001.aspx but at only 6.12 it wouldnt break the bank!

    this is a really good question i think i would buy loads of aida and loads threads so i could do all the charts i have in my stash
    oh and a really good frame

    oooh, that's a really good idea though! yes, i'd do that - far better than the money going on groceries or not getting it at all.

    ok, so where's this 100 quid coming from? ... wanders off to the 'up your income' board...

    That's a beautiful kit.....add it to my wishlist :D

    I adore Tigers but find a lot of tiger kits just don't seem to look 'right' Either their faces look odd or more commonly their paws aren't right but the one you linked to looks perfect.....I want it!

    Thats a question and a half - need to think of that - maybe a new frame for my Floral Alphabet and maybe official Emily Peacock - kiss&hug or maybe a map of USA and Scotland. mmmmm thinking . . . .
    So have you won the lottery Louise and you are sharing it with us all - thats what I would do as you lot have helped me so much.


    Well - Soulie (letters A-F),23rdspiral, nannon, bikerchick (hug & kiss) and Maria (kiss) - I have sent on emails to you with your ;).

    The hug and kiss ones I am finding didn't look good printed but I think it was because I was using a black and white printer - will try when we can get colour for our printer at home.

    I hope you are happy with them.

    I hope I haven't got anyone into trouble with the site trying to get the patterns. Was only trying to help.

    Kind wishes to all

    sweetcarer ;)

    You lot are so bad! - oooh, £100 to spend on stitching. Got to be a few Michael Powell Venice kits, other than that have a good shop round on the internet and see what takes my fancy - just seen a gorgeous baby penguin trio on the sewandso site (can you please stop posting that link - I just can't resist a look everytime!).

    Not much stitching done today as I've spent hours trying to set up my business website...will try harder tomorrow. Think the Susan Bates Kingfisher plate chart may be winging its way to me over the next few days so Titanic will have to take a backseat (though hopefully not for another 12 years!).
