.... I stashed. Why? Why? Why? Why? I need no stash. Not a bit -- well maybe the occasional floss, but no patterns. So, in the face of needing NOTHING, I got:
Midsummer Nights Designs -- A Patriot's Sampler (I will have to change that top verse.)
I just love this -- I love violets so it had to be mine. Mine. Mine. Mine. All mine.
Possibly I'm attracted to this because it looks so darn peaceful.
I don't exactly know why, but I love this.
As long as I'm doing winter, I may as well do summer, right? Besides, those are sheep in them thar hills!
Midsummer Nights Designs -- Memorial Sampler
Then there had to be:
Of which I have picked my immediate favorites (do you have favorites? What are they? I simply have to know!!!)--
(the Santa and polar bear)
(I absolutely adore the snow globe idea!)
(the bird and the tree)
OMG -- What was I thinking???? How am I ever going to get all this stitching done? Wait a minute. Is it really our intent to get it all done? What do you think? Do you think you'll stitch most of your stash some day?
Also, do you have this problem -- you buy charts (you don't need) and then you are *compelled* to buy fabric for said charts. It's stash begatting stash. Oooo, self perpetuating hobbies are pretty cool don't you think?
I wish you all a pleasant evening/day. I'm about to finish my work week--- unless you count my week by when they stopped paying me for my time -- that was Wednesday evening. That aside, I'm heading out a bit early tonight for Club Sookie. Three of us get together to watch True Blood on TiVo. We're down to the last 3 episodes of the season. There will be bar-b-que and possibly salads and corn on the cob. There will also be dog-bonding time. Our hostess has a new furry friend -- drat I thought I had a picture of Luke, but it'll have to wait for next time.

Hi Ruth,
Ummm... that's not being a bad stitcher but rather a good stitcher and a "I fell off the wagon needlework shopper". Though I feel that if I get the benefit of the shopping experience equal to the amount that I spent? Well, it was a good day! :-)
Yes, I do have the latest issue and I love several designs in this issue. Especially the Heartsrings Santa. But then you already knew that I was the president of the Pat fan club! :-)

Good. Absolutely good. Stashing is always good. And the charts you stashed are great. So, what! Lol.
Well, if one has to fall of the wagon, those are some beautiful patterns to fall off with. Wait, you mean we are supposed to stitch everything we think we need to have. In that case, you and I are in big trouble girl.
You have EXCELLENT taste! I love everything. :D
Great stash - I have my eye on that Tournicoton!
Great stash! I do the same thing-I must have fabric and threads and who knows when or if I will ever get to it.
Ruth I love True Blood you guys are going to love the last episodes. Have fun. Polly
Not a bit of it...Stashing restoreth the soul...
I think of it as "saving for retirement." Perhaps I'll be on a fixed income and can't afford it then!
Those are great stash.
You picked out some wonderful new things :)
Oh boy...I will never, ever stitch everything I have. My tastes change, and the new stuff is always so much fun. I would hate to skip buying something and then have a compelling urge to stitch it down the road and then find that it was OOP!!
Great stash you got. Love the violet sampler.
Great new stash! Looks like money well spent!
Stashing is very good Ruth and very nice new stash you got too:)
Ah - a stasher after my own heart! Lovely choices you've made! Will be watching to see which you begin - from Friendly Stitchers.
