Stitch from Stash is hosted by Mel from Epic Stitching
Essentially the idea behind Stitch from Stash is that we are limited to spending US$25 (or £15) per month. There are various exemptions (Birthday money, existing mag subs, clubs etc) but the idea is not to try and pervert the rules and to stitch some of that stash! I will be posting on or around the 20th of each month because that is when I get paid!
Jodyri Threads of Month Club : £ 5.54
World of Cross Stitching Subscription : £8.99
I didn't include the June Bonus in last month's accounts but Mel reminded me about it so I've added it this month. The two Lavender & Lace charts were an impulse buy from Willow Fabrics. They are selling a whole load of L&L and Mirabilia charts for only £5 and I could not resist these two:
