Hi there - I'm looking for Winter & Spring Gardens patterns by Shepherds Bush (Teri Richards). I am quite willing to pay for them. I reside in New Zealand. This site has proved lethall as I can't stop ordering the fantastic patterns that I found on it. I specially love Little Needleworks patterns. Regards Fiona Clay

Join the club, Fiona! We all have wishlists an arm long and a huge stash! Could be worse! LOL

I now have so many patterns that I don't think I will ever get them all done and I still order more. I'm going to Honolulu in Sept and want to have a look there. Went last year and got a neat pattern of a Hawaiian shirt which I have had done and framed. I've got to learn to stop.

Remember that we all need a hobby and ours is certainly benign. As long as you enjoy it why not indulge yourself?
My granddaughter starts school this fall and I have big plans for whittling down my stash so I can buy more. I've noticed that I rarely stitch older patterns. I guess it's like old clothes. What looked good to me 15 years ago does not necessarily appeal to me today.
Hopefully, you'll post some of your finished projects on our website.
I'm working on the SB "Autumn Garden" and should be finished soon. The weather's been so crazy here and I've had to keep our granddaughter. She won't let me do anything except entertain her. We live across the street, the other grandparents are at least 4 minutes away. LOL So it's more convenient. We enjoy having a baby around. I can always stitch when I can't do anything else.

No chance of me whittling down my supplies as I keep increasing them. We are having very hot days with high humidity and very hard to sleep at night. At least we have ceiling fans which we having going all night. BUT I will have to stop buying patterns as each time I get new patterns I have to purchase more skeins of thread. The thread range is the real problem. There are so many fabulous colours so each time I go I purchase additional colours and have yet to use them!!! I have a very good framer who knows just the right frames to put the designs into. I will take some photos and put them on. Will have to get my stepdaughter to do it as I'm not that good putting photos on pcs. Cheers Fiona

Hi Fiona, Saw your chat and couldn't help to put my two (or 3 cents) in. Don't know if you noticed but ECS has a WEEKLY special as well as a Monthly special. In fact I thought they just recently (February?) had a sale on Little House cross stitch projects. Most of us have large enough stashes that we can be reincarnated at least 4 times and have enough patterns for each life time.....
