I am so with you on the Santee posts................I have a little blurb from our host that she sent to her that my SS listed a few items. So I will be taking a chance on a few items. I do hope I see something soon.

[QUOTE=Quilty-Louise;7355257]Here are photos of the lace crosses I was asking if anyone
liked.
I added hotfix crystals to them, but the only one that you
can really see the crystals on is the dark gold bookmark.
Question - are these done on a water soluble stabilizer? Or how? They are beautiful.
why is QB telling me my reply is too short???

Yes FSL (free standing lace) is made using water soluble stabilizer.
I personally use the kind that looks more like a fabric (Floriani or pellon),
and 2 or 3 layers (depending on the stitch count.
QB gets finicky at times I think.

I was gone over the weekend to visit my hubby (he's working out of town) and all of you have been so chatty. Looks like there are a few more questions to answer so here goes:
I LOVE all of the Holidays & decorate for them too.
Not a fan of Jig Saw puzzles.
I like all kinds of chocolate plus black licorice and anything cinnamon flavored.
I don't garden as much as I'd like to because I live in drought-stricken Southern California. Am hoping El Nino comes calling so I can get my flowers growing again. I have an herb window garden in my kitchen.
I read A LOT! My favorite genre is historical fiction, especially anything to do with WWII.
I LOVE quilting magazines.
I really love handmade gift items. I am working on a few for my SS.
Not a fan of word search books.
No embroidery machine or serger at my house. Not sure I would ever want one either.
I have only recently begun to do paper piecing. I also love to do hand embroidery work and wool applique.

Haven't been on in a while and another 10 pages have posted! My goodness you are all a chatty bunch! (Especially Sula Bug- her person is probably in her glory that she has so much info to help!)
Here's some more answers to the newest questions:
embroidery- sure!
crosses- sure!
outdoor fun- I garden, do canning, have flower gardens, live on 34 acres, love being outside as much as possible. that said, winter and I are not friends and I hibernate and whine until the weather turns nice again.
Books- love to read but my reading is normally for professional development. I also read ALL day long. None can accuse my brain synapses from being lazy.
salty or sweet- either or.
clover clips- bought them, haven't finished something to use them.
Holidays- I decorate because I have grandchildren. I love to decorate the whole house because as many as possible try to make it home for the holidays and they stay with us. I even do the bathrooms. They are understanding everything now and I love to see their eyes as they walk in their bedroom and there's a tree, quilt, shams, pillows, etc. in the whole room. I'm the queen of pinterest and this year I'm working on paper snowflakes to hang from the ceiling. I hang ornaments in the windows on a tension rod too. The rest of the year- well, let's say the snowmen will be there until May (when we last get snow here) and then it's off to the gardens so who cares what the house looks like. I have penguins in the bathroom- made the shower curtain and curtain and decorate with all penguins- towels, carpets, soap dispenser, you name it- it turns into a penguin. My son tolerates it, I change it the day before the kids arrive and the day after they leave, I change it back.
oh- flat head pins- awesome! Those suckers hurt though- very sharp!!! Love the flower head ones. Would love the ones with the numbers or letters on them to use to mark rows. My method is pinning a piece of paper.
Well, just looked at the time. Off to the dairy store for milk and eggs. (I hate shopping for groceries!!!! I keep telling them I just went 2 weeks ago- stop eating what I buy.)

Well, I took someone's advice and have wrapped everything in fabric! I hope my SS likes my gift wrapping choices! Lol. I want to pick up a couple more items and will be done! So much fun shopping for someone with the same interests.
