Stash from Gitta's

As planned for my first day in Toronto, I took the train to go out of the downtown area to visit Gitta's. I got lost a few times getting to the train platform, but after that it was pretty easy. I came in with a list of things I wanted to get, but still left with something that just fell into my basket. I had a lot of fun picking out fabric and looking around the store. They had framed pieces all over the store (I saw Mirabilia's Ring Around the Rose Tree and decided I don't want it after all).

I ended up getting the fabric for Teresa Wentzler's Tracery Dragons. I had fun picking out this fabric. The fabric is called Gothic and it's a 28 ct Cashel Linen by Picture This Plus. It's actually a very dark blue (think midnight blue) with some hint of purple and there is a small area where it's lighter (click on this link for a better picture).


I also got the fabric and special threads and beads for Dimple Designs Enchantment of Winter. I'm still missing the treasure bead, which they will send to me later. The fabric is amazing in person (again pictures don't make it justice). It's a 32 ct Belfast Linen in Ivory.


This is what I bought as an extra. It was between this and a Sweetheart Tree kit. But after seeing the finished piece in person it was an easy decision.
