My Wishlist....




Because I am involved in some exchanges, it's time for me to have a wishlist.... Just to suggest what I like the most and what are my preferred items.

Threads and flosses: any color of WDW, GAST, Belle Soie, Gloriana,Rainbow Gallery; any silk thread and any sparkling one (Kreinik; DMCs as well are sooooo appreciated, because everybody knows that a stitcher never has enough threads in her basket...

Stitching Fabrics: linen of any kind (28, 32 and higher) over dyed or not; colors I love are those antiqued elegant powdered colors, vintage, natural and so on; I love light blue fabrics too, and some pastel color like pink and green and violets;

Tools: a stitcher is always in need of needles and scissors and gadgets like threaders, counters, pins.... so it's up to you to choose! My passion are hornbooks and wooden tools like thread keepers, rulers and 3" samplers starters and so on.

Fabrics and ribbons: any kind of fabric and ribbons needed to finish a stitched piece. Fabrics with small designs printed on it like Japan fabrics and french style ones like Moda Fabrics, with flowers, leaves, tiny dots. I love silk fabrics as well, like Dupioni. Any ribbons, hand dyed or not, silk or not, textured or not... in any color and any size...

Charts: I love a lot of designers, like Just Nan, Dames of the Needle, Thistle Threads, La D Da, Homespun Elegance, Carriage House, Sampler Company, Bent Creek, Cat Whiskers, Shepherd's Bush, Victoria Sampler, Brightneedle, Blackbird Designs, Cat Whiskers.... And I love Christmas related patterns, samplers and designs...

What I like: I love hornbooks, pinkeepers, pincushions, emeries, needlebooks, flatfolds and ornaments of any kind, needlerolls, boxes, trays...

What I dislike: .... uhm.... it's very hard to find what I do not like!! :D By the way, I dont't like confetti stitches patterns.
