Op-Shop/Charity Shop Finds

I Just love the thrill of the hunt in the charity shops I as never know what I will find

to add to my stash.

This week is this collection of braided tasseling and some black netting.

Made in heavy cotton and some rayon. In short lengths that might be used as an edging to one of my small purses.Who knows. Sometimes its just having my collection around me is all thats necessary.:)

Do you have any favourite shops or markets you love to browse or hunt ;)

Allies in stitches Blog

A wonderfully informative and attractive blog is Allie's in stitches. With some fun tutorials along with great photos.Ive just enjoyed a browse and thoroughly recommend a look.

This photo shows the end product of what Allie calls Crazy Crumb piecing.
I will definately be trying out this technique to use all the little leftover bits that I cant bear to throw away.



Happy Stitching.
