Needle Magazine online - Free resource

Just a quick note to all embroidery enthusiasts...

The Hand Embroidery Network has launched the first issue of Needle Magazine. For anyone who is interested in any form of embroidery,be it traditional or contemporary, this one looks to be a wonderful resource. You can read the first issue of the magazine online here.

I had a quick look at the contents and found some of the articles quite interesting ,especially the history of stumpwork by Grace Lister. Articles on some of the featured artists also make a good read. For those looking out for hands on projects, check out the "12 days of Christmas " embroidered quilt and the Ribbon work scissor case project.

Considering that this is the first issue, the HEN should be commended for their effort. Let us hope the good work becomes even better in the days to come.

Enjoy,

Love, luck and sunshine,
Deepa

  4. Thank you Deepa about my fairy postcard and thanks for visiting my blog... you know I always stop by yours when you make a post, love to see what you are always up to.... as for mailing the postcards, Judy and I usually put our cards inside the parcel and wrap it up. I have heard of people putting them in the mail, but in my opinion, that's a very good way of getting them wrecked because they have to go through the machinery and touch many people's hands (body oils - machinery oils), so we take no chances and try to keep them perfect!
