Mad S.E.X.
And I *must* be mad, in that marvelous British sense of barking loony.
Ever since I first saw it in The Stitchery catalog a couple (or threeple or fourple) of months ago, I've been lusting for the Thea Gouverneur St Petersburg tricentennial piece. I asked at one of my favorite ONSs--Stitches 'n' Things--about a layaway (hire-purchase) plan for it, and when Deb (with whom I was once a member of an email loop) told me she could get it and would allow me to make payments, I decided that I'd ask at my B&M LNS about the same arrangement. Well, just about the time I was wondering if I should give up on the LNS ever getting it in and go ahead and place the order with the ONS, my LNS told me someone had finally returned the call, and the kit was on its way. The LNS called Monday while I was at work, and I wandered down today after depositing my paycheck in the bank. But I yielded, and instead of making a nice down payment on a layaway, I shot my stash wad for the forseeable future and brought the kit home today. Okay, so I have no will-power. But I *do* have this really luscious piece waiting for me to finish what I have in progress! They actually went ahead and ordered two, one for me and one for sale. The second one was snapped up almost as soon as they opened the package the kits came in! Darla Sacred cows make great hamburgers.

So, I read this, and I've read about your anticipation on your blog, so of course I had to see what it looked like, because I've enjoyed her patterns - lots from the New Stitches magazine are on my to do list and her "The Gardener" is on my bedroom wall. And it's lovely, but on the same page as St Petersburg is 'Classical stone Arch Architecture' and 'Classical Masonry Architecture'. I fell in love and I'm here to say "IT'S ALL YOUR FAULT!" :- Rachel |

And I *must* be mad, in that marvelous British sense of barking loony. Ever since I first saw it in The Stitchery catalog... I felt the same way about BOTH of her books: I was watching the European online shops on a regular basis for more of Jill Gordon books/patterns, and so I had both Thea's books as soon as they were listed. I have also collected many of her botanical fruit patterns. It took me two afternoons to match up the threads to my handy DMC shade card--that's just for ONE pattern. So I am now looking to trade some of this for her coffeee/tea/coca charts (HINT, HINT)--Irene |

I have some birthday money stashed, and a refund check from the telephone company. I've been looking at this for a while but never knew of anyone who actually had the kit. Going on your recommendation that it is beautiful......I'm going to order it as a birsthday present for me. Thanks for giving me the courage to take this step. Judi |

I just don't believe that you haven't started to play with it beg We all know how this happens - it just has to. I can only imagine what will happen when Caryn, Sue & I hit the Stitching Post in Baltimore next Tuesday (the 12th). We had to postpone our outing (VA-MD-DC) because of me. But, I'm going to show restraint. Quit laughing, Caryn! I am. Have to be able to actually close on the new house - or more accurately, get this one fixed for sale in the spring. Enjoy your new piece of madness, Darla. Ellice - who still has to end this study break |

I just don't believe that you haven't started to play with it beg We all know how this happens - it just has to. Well, if going through the floss to compare it with the color card so I know what the numbers are counts as "playing with it," then no, I haven't been able to resist. Heck, I've even made a stitcher's copy! I'm still waffling about the included linen, and how to have it dyed, and by whom. Or whether I should replace it with some Lugana 32 dyed to order. Sometimes I just sit 'n' drool over the pic. (Thank goodness for plastic!) Darla Sacred cows make great hamburgers.

I know exactly which one you're referring to! I've been drooling over
this one myself for several months - I saw it on darklilac.com, I think. But it's way too out of budget for me now. I have too much other stuff on my list. Is there a catalog or a website that has all of her designs? Nadia Darla wrote in message . .. And I *must* be mad, in that marvelous British sense of barking loony.
