A few weeks ago, Daleen Lubbe, of
Stitchdelight expressed her intend to clear out space for new projects in her cupboards by offering all items and projects previously embroidered, stitched and/or quilted for sale. In order to be able to sell embroidery designs, they have to be embroidered and being in the business for about 25 years, the samples quickly stacked up. Upping the sales of her designs by making complete bags, quilts, cushions, placemats etc. to give prospective buyers an idea what the designs can be used for, took up a lot of space. Daleen offered it at ridiculously low prices with the idea to just recover the input cost of the fabrics, lace, batting etc. she used.
So, shopping I went. Being an avid buyer of Daleen's designs, I mainly focused on items for which I don't have the designs, large designs and complex items. Below is my stash (thus far)...
I bought all the different embroidery sizes for
these panels and did embroider a medium size one thus far on an
Amafu print in 2020.
This post refers. However, to embroider one panel like this, take 50 hoopings, so buying a completed one is a huge bargain.
A beautiful masterpiece of 85cm to which I will add blocks to convert it into a quilt. I collected twelve
patchwork quilt blocks as and when they were on sale and think they will make a gorgeous addition to this already masterful piece. So, watch this space.

I received all the fonts below for free which I will convert into some useful items.
This cross stitch Christmas bauble sneaked its way into the package.
That's all for now. As promised another sale will be held this week for the articles left over as well as fabric she also wants to clear out. I just hope I will get a few pieces, as its fastest fingers first on that Whatsapp group. Do ccome back regularly to see what was done with these pieces.
