@William

My parcel from Deutschland (Deutschland uber alles) arrived and what a lovely parcel it is. Some lovely handmade goodies and a pair of Victorinox scissors. I was cutting threads off selvedge last night just to have a play with them. Thank you so much for your generosity, Sir.

@Iminei - those snips you sent have been in constant use. I didn’t expect them to be so much quicker than embroidery scissors for snipping threads. I’ve found them very useful at the embroidery machine when doing lots of colour changes.

And @TartanPaint s lovely pink fabric has been used in the mini quilt.

I struck very lucky this year.  :toast:

So I collect Tula Pink fabric and this is an Out Of Print design I haven't yet got - I am over the moon and have been stroking it all afternoon. Thank you so much !


I scored a fat quarter of this last year and it didn't have the selvedge- now I know it's Eden by Tula Pink! That explains it  :loveit: it really is gorgeous fabric in person. I don't know if I'll ever even cut it up, it might live on as a "souvenir fat quarter". If it's a decoration, it's not stash, right? ;)
US to UK, brought all the fabric and yarn with me

@whofilets  All of Tula fabric is more gorgeous in person than in photos. Even some of the 'less interesting' filler prints from the ranges I have been getting at a reasonable(ish) cost have so much more detail in than I realised!

I don't count Tula fabric as a stash... it is an art collection and investment  :loveit:
