I ordered Tiger's Eye linen from Silkweaver for Chatelaine's Illuminated Medieval Sampler, and since I was making the order I added in some Starquest Reflections which I hoped might work for Watergarden one day in the future, and three random samples.
The Tiger's Eye has more copper green in it than I expected, but it's really growing on me. The Starquest won't work of Watergarden, but I'm thinking it might do nicely for Dragon Dreams' Not Forgotten. I can't remember the colours of the samples off the top of my head, but they were all new colours to me and I'm sure will prove useful.
I also got some Dusk 16-ct Aida from Silkweaver, which will be used for a model, so I'm not going to say anything more about that at the moment. But it's going to be very pretty - although I do have to finish the charting first.
My kit for the Medieval Sampler also arrived from European Cross Stitch, along with the Quaker Game Board pattern. The sampler is going to be very pretty when I finally get a chance to stitch it, but for now I'm just going to enjoy the beautiful supplies.

That's going to be beautiful! I shouldn't suggest it, but how about starting if it'll get you stitching and give you a pick-me-up?
You could do one part, then a part on Alpine, then a part on this etc.
That's a thought. I don't know yet. And I still have to get the DMC.
What a beautiful peice of fabric. It will be perfect for "Illuminated" . The silks look wonderful with it.
I love that fabric, it looks ancient on the screen... perfect for that sampler
it must have been fun when all the pretties turned up...
