FAVOURITE CRAFT BOOK-Share here!

I thought it was likely as we are all crafters that we have some favourite books in our vast collections-if your like me -that you really love and use a lot and think others might enjoy. We can all hassle our libaries to get them in for us and form an orderly MSE queue to borrow them!

Well shall l begin!
Found by accident in Hobbycraft before christmas a beautiful book called
Crafting christmas Gifts- by Tone Finnanger-published by David and Charles.
Its by a Norwegian lady and has the most divine snowmen angels stockings and reindeer in really inventive ways.Bags ,decorations,wall hangings and gifts.She uses lots of stripey fabrics and linens.The patters look easy to follow-and lm a beginner!I have been looking in charity shops for check shirts and coloured linens and have a good collection already to start.
