Stitcher's World and Travellers Tales
I picked up the latest issue of Stitcher's World yesterday. I have fallen
head over heels in love with the Travellers Tales pieces. I am absolutely blown away and in total lust for every piece shown. The chart in the magazine looks easy to follow and I love the explanations of various motifs. I've fired off a note looking for US shops. --- How do people feel about the change in command at the magazine? I have mixed feelings - I'd prefer to not have a "shop" running it, I'm afraid that the diversity of the past will be lost. Cheryl |

Sounds interesting. Is there a place to see a picture of it online ?

The chart in the magazine looks easy to follow and I love the explanations of various motifs. Thanks for the info. I saw the mag in Barnes & Noble, but it's in a sealed bag, with some mini-Herschners catalog, so couldn't really tell what was in the issue. That said, I just got the 15th Anniversary Issue of Inspirations - full of all kinds of really nice things - crewel, metal-work, and other things. How do people feel about the change in command at the magazine? I have mixed feelings - I'd prefer to not have a "shop" running it, I'm afraid that the diversity of the past will be lost. Good question. Guess it's wait and see. ellice |

Remember, I do some model stitching and some sewing finish work for the mag. CiaoMeow ^;;^ . I do remember. I hope that the quality stays the same. Cheryl |

These thrill me on so many levels - the color, the complexity, the sheer joy to the eye. Cheryl BRBR I love the designs, too, and am annoyed that they only come in kits. I ordered one a couple of years ago (for a Miao needlecase) and was very disappointed in the quality -- stingy piece of fabric (although it was Zweigart), not enough thread in most of the colors, and a gold-plated needle the eye of which broke the second time I threaded it, something that had never happened to me before. I also found her ethnographic information way too simplified. Which of the collections particularly appeal to you? There are other sources, some free internet sites, for many of these types of designs. Annie |

I couldn't tell you exactly why, but I really do like it a lot. I think it is the color and balance that attracts me so much. Cheryl |
