Remember those gorgeous cosmo threads I showed you earlier???
Well, I'm putting them to good use on a gorgeous new christmas project called "Advent Angels". I have always found it difficult to design Christmas projects at any other time of year than November/December. This can be a problem as it is too late for you all to make the project in time for Christmas. I have however turned a problem into an opportunity by creating a detailed design which can be worked on throughout 2010 and ready for Christmas 2010! Here are some sneak peeks...
I am having such stitching bliss as I work on this project and am looking forward to sharing more with you as Christmas approaches.
Enjoy your creation!

P.S. I have been contacted by some stores and told that they have the Cosmo threads. You can get them all at The Quilter's Store, and some of them at Patchwork with Gail B, Foothills Fabric and threads and Tinkers Cart. There are many more stores which are begining to carry them. If you are a store who carries the thread and would like to let people know, why don't you leave a comment on this post to let them know. As you can imagine, it is a difficult job for me to list everyone.
Oh my goodness I love it ... I will be keeping an eye out for that one!! Stunning!!

I love it to bits, can't wait to get stitching for next Christmas. I'll have to make a trip to the Quilter's Store in the new year and stock up on the Cosmo threads. Thanks for the tip.

That is so cute Rosie! I understand what you mean as I always finally get in the Christmas mood AFTER it is over and am always so disappointed that it is over. :D

very, very pretty!! Rosalie, have you tried the Cosmo on the spool yet? I'm wondering how you like it. ;0

Rosalie, you're a bit of a tease ! Now i haveto add something else on my 2010 shopping list . I checked out The Quilters Store the Cosmo threads they have are sold by the skein. So perhaps they're not the same as the ones you had on your blog a few posts ago. They were truely delecious colours......... even if I google them I don't find out much info :-(

Hi Rosalie,
I have googled the Cosmo threads & have gone to the Quilters Store site, which they sell them by the skein but I would like to be able to use the threads that you pictured (they were on the spool)
I was wondering if you could point me in the right direction?
Kind Regards
PS Keep up the good work
