OK first I will fess up - it was me that sent the heap of Gloriana threads to Hilary for her Thriller chart.
Secondly - I was RAKed !!!! Yes I've just sorted through today's mail and I received a lovely gift from Maggee !!!!!
Maggee sent me a cute card and nearly a dozen different metallic threads! Mainly a heap of Kreinik blending filaments but also including a couple of DMC metallics!
Thank you Magee !!! These included a lot of colours that I need for upcoming projects - thank you soo much !!! And the card is very very cute!

Oooh lucky you and many, many thanks for the floss! (hmm need to get stitching so that we can all start this one next year!)
That is so sweet!
Oh - great timing, and what a nice package! Enjoy!
Nice giftie! Cute card :)
Great stuff, Mel and Maggee! If you get to your DMC metallics before I do, let me know how you like them; I am adding several to a dragonfly design I have kitted up, but it keeps getting shifted in the To Be Done pile, so I haven't used 'em yet.
I've had an order in with my LNS for a month to get a bunch of Kreiniks for those Dragon Dreams ornies I'm doing, and so far, nothing! I'm trying to support her, but it's not working both ways - I shoulda just ordered them from one of the many ONS having sales, like I usually do!
I've used Kreinik and I've used DMC metallics and I loathe them both! However I do love the effect they produce so I keep stitching with them and using them :) :)
I don't mind the Kreiniks, usually; if I'm grumpy already, then they tend to irritate me. I love the effect, so I guess I can overlook a lot of PITA. I haven't used the Rainbow Gallery ones yet, though I will eventually - that's one thing my LNS has, though considering her 1990's selection of charts, I'm a little curious as to why she has them. Her Kreiniks, only #8 braid - not even blending filament!?! She does carry the whole line of Dinky Dyes, silk and cotton, so I'll give her a little credit there.
Lovely gift!!
You're such a sweetie - it doesn't surprise me to hear that you were both a RAKer and a RAKee. Enjoy the goodies.
Awww - you say the nicest things !!!!!!
Karen, Rainbow Gallery Petite Braids are the easiest and best metallics that I have worked with - and wherever possible I try to convert my metallics to try and use RG instead of Kreinik or DMC. But there are sometimes that is just not possible.
And I love the effect of metallic threads far far far too much to stop using them - so I'll just continue to whinge every stitch of the way until the item is finished :)
too fun, Mel, although I will admit that I really don't like metallics all that much! Love their effect, just hate having to adjust my stitching method to suit them! What a great RAK for you!!
