Hello!!! Today while browsing our local bookstore, I found a copy of A Needle Pulling Thread and brought it home. At once I knew it covered all my favourite needlework hobbies! Thank you so much!

I love your magazine and fear missing an issue. The Temari article in Festive 2009 is inspiring. Socks! I too plan to make my first pair in 2010. I’d be interested in cross over articles: hooked rug to punch needle; cross stitch to punch needle; quilting to Temari…etc. Mostly, leave no fibre art untouched. Thanks for your beautiful and inspiring magazine.

I recently received a subscription and I can’t tell you how much I enjoyed it. Bravo! I am currently living in the USA and #1 it is a taste of home for me and #2, it is definitely the best Arts & Crafts magazine I have ever seen. The crafts, photography and even the paper make it a real treat for me to receive. For this reason I don’t want to miss out on a single issue.
I also wanted to let you know that our patrons LOVE the magazine. We have people waiting for the next issue to arrive! Thanks.

I am a great fan of your magazine. When the brown envelope arrives in my mailbox I know there is good reading – have never been disappointed.

Your magazine is a joy to me. I am pleased to renew my subscription.

Here it is! What's to say about our Fall 2010 issue other than it is brimming with eye-candy and inspiration. Even if you’re not going to make all the projects in the issue, you’ll love it for the colours, the ideas and the fall-appeal!
Here are a few things to look forward to:
- knitting with Kate Atherley and vintage inspiration
- deciphering vintage knitting patterns with Cynthia MacDougall
- exquisitely beaded sunflowers
- quilted and appliquéd fall themes and flowers and a scrap quilt
- get a head start on Christmas with a cross stitched St Nicholas
- rug hooking in geometrics
- two canvas work pieces and one whimsical needlepoint pillow
- and you know there's so much more!
Also, check out the winning entries in the Grand National Quilt Show and Threadworks 2010 – Trees. You’ll be fascinated at what can be done with a needle pulling thread.
It is always with pleasure and an enormous amount of satisfaction that I hear many readers say that every issue of ANPT is a collector’s item. Many plan to collect and refer back to them, as they are timeless and full of terrific projects and project ideas. Thank you for sharing how ANPT is a good read and a wealth of needlework information.
Finally, it will be a busy fall for us, promoting ANPT and The Needlework Pages at KnitTrade and the Knitter’s Fair in September and the CreativFestival in October. Come visit us! We’d love to meet you in person. It’s also a great time to buy back issues and gift subscriptions for Christmas, and to pick up our latest issue.
The fun never ends!
Cheerfully,
Thank you for visiting our website, the online companion to the quarterly magazine, A Needle Pulling Thread.

It explores, discovers and shares our passion and creativity for the needle arts while providing inspiring projects with full instructions. Quilting and knitting are predominant categories in every issue, where three to four projects and articles are featured. Special features, like 4-part projects, are frequent in the magazine.
