A gift from Angela, my stash of fabrics and a work in progress........

Hi everyone, I hope you are having a lovely stitchy week.
A few months ago I decided to treat myself to a stash of gorgeous fabric from Shabby Fabrics, if you have never seen their website go check it out here. They supply over the internet from America, they arrived only about 10 days later in England  and they were worth waiting for, they are absolutely gorgeous, all of the colours blend together beautifully and every single one of the designs are really pretty. 
I have bought some other colours but I will save them for another time.   
  
Next up is the beautiful gift that I receved for my birthday from Angela, the gorgeous ribbons, a lovely Cypress bread roll and a notepad from the Victoria and Albert Museum, Angela knows I am into the Victorian era so this was perfect. I love taking tea in the garden so it will be lovely to wrap up some warm bread and eat it in the sunshine alongside a nice cup of english tea!  
Thankyou Angela for the lovely gift, I love it all.   


I have also been stitching a cross stitch that I started last year, it is a free pattern from the internet,
stitched 1 over 1 in red satin DMC thread.   

I love the flowers and the butterflies on this.

I hope I can keep stitching things that are of interest to you all, thanks for your visit, until next time...... 
Happy Stitching!

  7. Wow Lynn, your fabrics are gorgeous. I especially love the pinks and can't wait to see what you will create with them :>)
    I'm so glad you liked the little gifts. I will think of you in the garden munching your warm rolls in the afternoon sunshine ( we will get some more sunshine won't we...haha :>)
    Your red butterflies are beautiful. It's so tiny. It's going to be stunning when it's finished.
