I saw a new magazine at Chapters today called Needle Pulling Thread, a
Canadian magazine.. A first issue. There were 7-8 pieces on different
forms of needlework broadly defined (so it included beaded drapes for
Christmas balls, a purse using rug hooking, and fabric art that was
primarily rubber stamping on fabric, but with some machine sewing). The
projects varied considerably in interest for me, but seemed to be aiming at
teaching/introducing the techniques involved, so that, e.g., the machine
quilted placemats could be done by a rank novice like me. I didn't have
time to read the articles, but they seemed to be going for more than
project instructions. (One article was on Thea Dueck, and included two
charts by her.) Nice pictures.
I do intend to go back and take a second look--a Canadian magazine would be
nice for lots of reasons including sourcing supplies in Canada. (so I do
hope it is not really an Ontario-centered magazine but looks further
afield.)

Canadian sources would be nice. Joan sent me a fabulous link and I
decided to do the chart she linked for that brat in NB. However, a
US$6 chart became US$15 to mail to Canada ! Now our post office
stinks and maybe the one in the States does too, but US$15, I don't
think so, not for a joke anyway. Do they think we are fools ???
By the way, I did email the designer and she protested they use
cardboard folders and ship courier, maybe but couldn't I have the
choice of just putting it in an envelope and dropping in the mail?

Brat in N.B. - now who would that be? You could improvise for that simple
chart really - so many of these designers put out something really quite
easy as this one and want $12 and up for it - I don't think so!!! - I could
chart it myself - and I have enough cross-stitch books to pick out a flower
to stick on the side. And besides all that, $15 could buy a rather nice
bottle of the good stuff. :-))
