Once again, it has something for everyone, knitter, quilter, hooker (rug hooker) and cross stitcher.
Spring Bliss, doll making and embroidery (with a journal cover) are by two talented ladies - Lucy Garvin and Sherry Del Rizzo.
Some socks to knit for those spring days ahead.
Part of the ongoing International Santa Series. And there is a knitted corset, beaded Pysanky Eggs, a wonderful display of rug hooking depicting the vanishing Saskatchewan grain elevators, and much, much more. A truly wonderful magazine and one of the very few I subscribe to these days.
Update on this, the baby blanket in shell stitch - I am currently working on row 49.
Oh yes, I almost forgot. This came in the mail yesterday too.
It's a cross stitch chart and, even though it has 2000 on it, it can easily be left out or changed to 2011 or 2012, etc. Anyway, I came by it because I follow Virpi's blog. She is a stay-at-home mom with 6 children and she does a whole lot of cross stitch. Not too long ago she was cleaning out some of her patterns and I was lucky enough to snag this. Drop in and take a look at what she's been working on lately.
What a gorgeous magazine! Gosh those dolls!!! I'm heading out to see if I can find a copy at the bookstore.
ReplyDelete: ) I'm in there this summer with a modern child's quilt and I feel it's sooo not fancy enough! :( But next year I'll have my art featured. I'll feel better about that. There's much more handiwork in it. It's 'prettier'. : )
I really love the blanket you are making! I can almost feel how soft it is.
ReplyDeleteLove your previous post too, with the old magazines!
Wow - the magazine would be worth it just for the dolls, they are gorgeous! Your baby blanket is beautiful. Love the cross-stitch too - something my eyes would never let me do - but glad you snagged it!
ReplyDeleteI love that magazine and it's so much better that it's Canadian - I don't know any other needlework ones that are from here.
ReplyDeletethose dolls are lovely!! I was so happy to get your comment. I have been a very poor visitor lately, I don't know where the time goes. Have a lovely weekend. x
ReplyDeleteDon't you just love it when the newest issues come out? I'm addicted to Bliss Victoria and yesterday when I brought mom shopping, I found the newest issue so it really made my day! lol I had stopped in at the thrift store as well and noticed tons of old knitting magazines...too bad I don't knit:-( The baby blanket you're working on is just gorgeous, love that stitch!! xoxo
ReplyDeleteLove to visit the new (to me) blog :-)
ReplyDeleteYou know, I can crochet... but never follow a pattern. To me, it's like trying to read upside down and backwards :-) x x x
Clever lady :-) :-) :-) x x x
That looks a very worthy magazine- LOVE the socks and the dolls of course- Your baby blanket looks thumb sucking great!

Hi Dolores,
ReplyDeleteThis is an amazing magazine and I have a Canadian friend Nancy, who had an article in this a while back and she sent me a copy.
The blanket you are making is lovely, also love the cross stitch and the pair of socks.
Happy weekend
Hugs
