McCall's Quilting

Childrens Toy Shop > Magazines > Embroidery
from: CK Media

February 01, 2002
This is a great magazine because it offers a great number of patterns in each issue and it has a nice balance of background information and interesting articles. Each pattern and technique offered in this magazine is complete with concise directions, often including pictures and diagrams. This magazine is well worth buying and even subscribing to.

Threads

Childrens Toy Shop > Magazines > Embroidery
from: Taunton Press


This magazine is mostly aimed at making clothing/wearables and is slick with lots of great pictures. Not for everyone, but like all Tauton publications it is sophisticated and has those articles many other magazines don't cover. Often the articles will cover how designers construct clothing or how great past designers such as Coco Channel changed design, imagined color, constructed their clothing, etc. There are also many imaginative embellishments and views of great vintage clothing. Perhaps not for everyone but has its place and is a feast for the eyes.

Quick Quilts

Childrens Toy Shop > Magazines > Embroidery
from: CK Media

May 03, 2002
I am new to quilting, and am trying to help my church make quilts for charity. Working full time, I thought this might be a great help. Maybe these are quick quilts for those with a lot of experience, but it's not quick for my purposes. It may have also been my mistake by equating "quick" to "easy".

Sew News

Childrens Toy Shop > Magazines > Embroidery
from: Ck Media Llc


Covers a wide variety of sewing projects and techniques. I subcribed to this magazine for many years, but stopped because sadly I hardly have time to sew anymore and prefer to crochet because I can take it with me. Aimed at the homesewer interested in honing skills or looking for a fun project. This is a helpful publication for beginners but also has aricles and projects to suit more advanced sewers. Also covers latest/useful products. There is a good reason this magazine has been a favorite of sewers for years.

Quiltmaker

from: CK Media

February 08, 2002
I learned how to quilt from scratch in 2000. At that time, there were few night classes offered in my area for working people, but this magazine helped me learn how to quilt anyway. I appreciate how they rate each project (easy, intermediate, advanced) and show a second colorway to consider. Sometimes they also show an alternate setting (like making a 1 ft wall hanging from a larger quilt.) The section on "gizmos and gotta haves" is really interesting and shows the latest stuff - not stuff that's "old news" or has been around for a while. This magazine usually has one or two paper pieced projects, too. If you've never done paper piecing before, Quiltmaker is a good place to learn how. I also enjoy the finished photos sent in by other readers ... Read More:

American Patchwork & Quilting (1-year)

from: Meredith

March 01, 2002
I have found American Patchwork and Quilting to be among the best in quilting magazines. I love every issue. The articles are informative and the patterns are simply wonderful. Not every issue will please every reader, but this one comes close.

Cross Stitcher

Childrens Toy Shop > Magazines > Embroidery
from: Amos Craft Publishing


I found my first "Cross Stitcher" at a bookstore and was hooked. Finding them untouched, with all the pieces still inside, is nearly impossible as some folks like to open the plastic bag in which it is sent and see what's inside - and in doing that, the special "gift" with each issue is lost. Issue 200 (for example) enclosed a new cloth bag for a person's stitching/sewing kit. Each magazine is full of new titles that I have never seen (yet they are ubiquitous in England) and the advertisements in the back have opened new cross stitch doors and vendors for me. "Cross Stitcher" has projects for beginners as well as experienced stitchers and as something that I appreciate, an estimate of how long each project should take you. All in all, a terrific magazine dedicated ... Read More:

Cross Country Stitching

Childrens Toy Shop > Magazines > Embroidery
from: Jeremiah Junction Inc


I have been subscribing with this magazine since the first issue. I am a avid cross stitcher. I only wished I had more time. The articles are great. The patterns are easily seen and colorful. They can fit into any home. Some of them have biblical reference. I love the reciepe that they include into the magazine.
You cant go wrong with this subscription....only wished I could order more time to stitch.
