More Stunning Stitches for Crazy Quilts by Kathy Seaman Shaw
Quilter or not you will find something useful and inspiring in this book. 
Shaw first offers a section on the basics. These include information on needles, floss, and ribbon widths and choices. Then, clear sketches show how to make stitches with floss embroidery and with ribbon embroidery including little flowers, leaves, etc.. Then she has over 100 pages of photographs and sketches of various combinations of stitches, beads, even small buttons. Plain templates are included. 
As a dressmaker, I am thinking of how to use one of these lovely combinations on a garment, Maybe to outline a collar on a blouse?  the yoke of a child’s dress?  I am pondering possibilities to save time…. use my sewing machine’s many embroidery stitches... try a variegated thread... add silk ribbon via hand embroidery? A little handwork can go a long way. 
This is the second book of its kind, and you can find them both here: https://www.ctpub.com/more-stunning-stitches-for-crazy-quilts/

Apparently abandoned late Victorian era corner terrace house c.1884-6, but there's a curious side door with a little awning. Clam shell, cornucopia, and funereal urn embellishments with "bullnose" verandah awnings archetypal of the period. Future uncertain. Camperdown.

Today’s stunning pink/blue themed incoming from dear Océane! 🥰
She made the cutest envelope for me but also an embellishment and little (big actually) paper clip! 😍 the embellishment already has its place on my bookshelf and while I’ve yet to figure out how to use the paper clip, I’m sure I’ll come up with something 😌 I didn’t notice it until I actually opened the letter at home but she also added some sparkle around my name and I had to show that as well because it’s SO pretty! She also sent me a white gel pen we talked about and stamp shaped dies that we were talking about recently!
We already spoke about this letter but thank you so much for sending me such a beautiful, thoughtful mail and such a long letter. I loved everything about it 🥹

The Trouble With Glass: The Gold Purse
Glass beads can twinkle so beautifully as they catch the light that they can make clothing and accessories irresistible. The trouble is that glass is both substantial and heavy. I know one woman who wore a dress decorated with glass beads sitting through a long marriage service on a hard church pew. Ouch! It seems best to opt for glass beads on accessories, but they can still pose a problem.
For example, this lovely vintage purse, a recent gift, sparkles with a kind of start or flower pattern in the middle. It isn’t clear when it was made, but it may date back to the 1950s or 1960s. In both eras, women’s purses were important accessories and choosing them to last was considered part of wise shopping.
So a beautiful evening bag, but it weighs almost 2 pounds. Now, for a certain kind of dinner, where you sit down most of the time or can park your purse, you are good. But I cannot imagine taking it for a moonlight stroll and not finding it a burden.
So weigh--a pun!--the advantages and the disadvantages of a glass beaded garment or accessory before you opt for one whether to buy or to make. Nothing takes the shine off a perfect evening than having to fuss uncomfortably with your ensemble.
