My Informed Delivery told me there would be several packages in the mail today so I was trying to watch for the mail and get it before Vince saw it but . . he saw it. He came in and said “You have FIVE large packages on the table.” OK, thanks!
The charts (I think) have all arrived.
Teresa Kogut sent me Let Love Reign since I had stitched one of the pieces in there. I already had the charts from the Patreon group but was very happy to get the book that has the piece I stitched in it and credit was giving for having stitched that piece.
Let Love Reign, which is the namesake of the booklet, has been kitted for months and it’s going to be on my 2023 stitch list.
I have loved that piece since I first saw it.
There was a bit of linen that arrived too.
Don’t judge! All are 40 count linen. The first three were ordered just at the end of 2021. They’re from Needle & Flax. It’s all dyed to order and her fabric is definitely worth the wait. Left to right (top row): Thornfield, Newport Beach and Dirty Teacup.
The bottom row are new ones from Fox & Rabbit. Left to right: Saltbush, which looks nothing like it’s showing in that photo. I see it as a grayish green in real life. The one on the right is Flannel Flowers.
Because both those colors are so far off, I took a new picture of just those two.
Heck, in real life, the Salt Bush (left) is about right but the Flannel Flowers is way lighter than the photo.
OK . . bottom line . . only two pieces of linen were ordered after the “no buy” started; seven charts arrived yesterday and I’m not going to say that’s all that’s coming because I just don’t remember — could be all of them, could be another couple. There were so many I wanted, put in the cart, took out, added back . . I confused myself.
I’m good. I doubt I order anything else for a while. I may make it to Black Friday . . maybe not. Time will tell.

I understand completely about not being sure if everything has arrived or not. I’m constantly ordering things, then forgetting about them. It’s like Christmas when they arrive!!! 🙂 I’m trying to take a break this year as well, but didn’t write it down and promise myself I’d be good…. I have so much fabric now that all I really need is solids now and again, so if I order fabric, that’s what I aim for.

–I preordered the Let Love Reign chart, I won’t get mine until April. I did manage to get the linen and floss ready as a kit for it. Maybe I’ll join you in a stitch a long next year:)

That chart is so beautiful. I’ll definitely post my list in the sidebar and mention it here.
