28ct Linen 14x16" Enchanting Lair: Medieval Cross

A way to remind myself which bits of hand dyed fabrics I need and what I am needing them for - in case of sales.

Some of these I could probably reasonable substitutes in my existing stash, but I am interested in finding and using new to me companies such as Lakeside Linen and Weeks Dye Works as well as enhancing my stash of some of my favourite companies such as Polstitches ...

Well Gloriana, to me, is a "NO BRAINER"...I've always loved Anne's product and use it quite a bit... BUT the new one, fabric wise, you just mentioned.... I discovered Lakeside Linen's "Magnolia" (32 ct) which I used for my newly released (see todays Online Needlework Show (Ink Circles "booth") "Peacock Alley" AND loved how it worked...fantastic...Loved it so much I have more on order and my new "April Maze" sitting here beside me is just waiting for "Magnolia" to come strolling in.... I ordered it from Wyndham BUT am waiting to hear from Lakeside Linen to see if they have a designer program where I might be able to order MORE and MORE and MORE.... If you haven't stitched on "Magnolia" then you've missed a fantastic stitching experience....JMHO

I heard everyone on Vikki Clayton's forum talking about Magnolia... Might have to invest in some of that myself.

Melissa Hicks said...

Marc I use lots of Gloriana myself and I adore the Rosewood colour - hence why I'm going to do Thriller in the actual Gloriana and not in a conversion.

Thanks for the info on Magnolia - never heard of it before this chart. Hmm the fact that you used it on Peacock Alley *and* a're going to use it in a future design - hmm I might have to stock up in it .....

Paula Hubert said...

I haven't tried any of the Lakeside Linens yet.. but I think I have a couple of small cuts for ornies. I'll have to check and see!

And did I hear that the Needlework show is on again?

Melissa Hicks said...

Yup up and running right now!

Melissa Hicks said...

Love Rosewood - I have some here already from Midi Mystery I - but its only the remains of one skein - and we need four for Thriller - so shopping I go .... at some point .....

Thank you. I'm sure some of the lovely people on the list must have at least some of this languishing away in the depths of their drawers

I love some of the colors of fabric you have chosen. I have seen some of the patterns/charts you have listed, but will have to remember where.
