Yesterday I spent hours re-organizing our shelves of books, and in the process unearthed a few needlework gems I’d forgotten about. One of these is the March 2006 issue of Cross-Stitch & Needlework magazine (formerly Stitcher’s World).

I have been meaning to visit the Shepherd’s Bush website for some time now, and this morning I finally did it. The first thing I noticed was that they’re having a stitching retreat/workshop at the end of September. I can’t think of a way to justify attending it, but perhaps one of you […]

Just CrossStitch (Hoffman Media Inc) is a magazine I’ve been eyeing for a while now. I bought the April issue because I love the wild rose pattern highlighted on the front cover, and figured the pattern was worth the $6.99 even if the rest of the magazine sucked.
