April WIPocalypse Shopping for Stash

      

WIPocalypse is hosted by Measi's Musings

Each month we have to share the projects we want to complete before the End Of The World.  Since 2011 I have chosen a number of projects to focus on that year, starting with my "11 in '11" and increasing to "22 in '22" for this year.  Since my last post I stitched on 4 of them and had 1 "block" finishes.  

2. Kustom Krafts Little Snapdragon

Finally, Measi always gives us a topic to discuss too.

April – What is your favourite store (either online or bricks and mortar) to purchase your supplies?

I use a mixture of online stores trying to use places run by enthusiasts.  Lakeside Needlecraft is one of the first places I look, Kate is very helpful.  If she hasn't got what I need then Peakside or Patchwork Rabbit are the next ports of call.   For hand-dyed fabrics, it's Sparklies or Chromatic Alchemy.   There is a small needlework shop about 10 miles away who supplies me with the latest Just Nan designs.  

Two places I will never shop - Hobbycraft and Amazon.
