JCS Ornament Issue

My LNS just called, and my reserved copy is available. Hopefully I can
get there Saturday to get it. Has anyone received theirs yet? What do
you think about it?

I rec'd mine late last week. I've bookmarked 4 designs I hope to one
day stitch. I can't remember which designers, but one is the advent
wreath w/ purple candles, one's of the manger with "loose" straw, one
is a sampler- or hardanger-type with lots of green, can't remember the
4th one at the moment.

Is this the "real" one, or the one I've been seeing on the store stands
that says "Ornament Preview Issue"? 'Cause I have to admit, I haven't
seen anything in that one that makes me wanna stitch it!

Mine came in the mail on Monday. I'm not overwhelmed, but I haven't
had a chance to examine it in detail yet.

Ornament Preview issue is the regular issue of JCS but they added a few
ornaments to it. It is not the ornie issue! I thought it was too at first
but as soon as I got it home and looked I realized that it was the normal
September issue of the magazine.

You know, that's the feeling I get every year. I'm underwhelmed at first
glance, then I look through carefully and say, "I like that one" and "I
like THAT one", and before you know it, I have a whole bunch that I want
to do!

Got my copy last night and not impressed with some ornaments and loved
others. I liked the "house ornaments". The only drawback is that a lot of
the designers used specialty threads. I love those threads but since there
is not a LNS handy, I have to mail order and it makes the ornament so
expensive. Usually I just follow the pattern and use my leftover stash to
keep the cost down.

I have always considered patterns a springboard to be changed. I'll
leave stuff out, I'll change colors, I'll add Kreinik where there is none...

I got the cover......the PO sent me a regrets-it-was-damaged
note. Called the subscription dept who told me they'd put
another copy in the mail but I probably won't get it till
November.

I have a question. I have a two year subscription to JCS. Will I
automatically get the Ornament issue, or should I go out and buy it?
