The mail didn't make here through the storm Saturday (Grr, no excuse! It's Maine!)
SO- today I ventured out to my very crammed mailbox! There were three (four actually, but my prescription doesn't count) puffy envelopes.
My order from Needlework Plus arrived with the Estaz threads I have wanting for a couple years now, and the DMC rayons I ordered. Thank you Jenna for the recommendation! (My first ever order through that company and I have to say the owner's communication is excellent!)
From 123 Stitch my back ordered emerald cabochon hearts (they are little treasure type things) arrived with the correct sized white Monaco. Oh my word, the fabric is huge!
And.... grab your paper towels! My Hand dyed Fabric Exchange item arrived all the way from Val in England. It's purple! And it gorgeous. I don't know how she managed to marble it as she did. I couldn't have asked for anything better. (yikes, hope mine is up to that level! But I ordered a piece from Silkweaver as back up, so it should help take the pressure off me a smidge.) My picture doesn't do it justice. Makes it more grey then its true color. If you could see it in person! Wow.
What's that? What Fabric Exchange? Well I forgot to mention it! Hee hee. Over at the Linabear forum we are having a hand dyed fabric exchange. I was the organizer, which is very fun btw. We were to dye a piece of fabric 13"x18" or larger of 28ct or higher count fabric. The send out date is the first of April. So- wish me luck!

Really pleased you like it - it had to be purple didn't it?? If you could see what I went through to get it like that!! lol
I think I have a better picture, but every time I tried to take one it showed up as blue!
Ooh! That is beautiful. :)
I have heard that she got addicted to dyeing, btw... ;)
Nifty! I love the fabric!
The threads/fibers are pretty cool too. Wow - awesome stash. :)
Wow, she did a beautiful job! It looks YUMMY. :D I'm glad that Jennifer at Needlework Plus came through. She's a lovely person to work with.
