Dear Carla,
As you can see, I made up this project (Holiday Sparkle) as in the Festive 2009 issue of A Needle Pulling Thread. This was the first time I ever heard of your magazine. I love it. And I love this project. I just stared at the picture for days, I could not take my eyes off it, and I am thrilled that I made it. The attached picture doesn’t do it justice...
Thank you,

I picked up your magazine at a bookstore in Chicago and couldn't believe my eyes. You cover all of my crafty hobbies! I was so glad to see I could get a subscription even though you are our friends north of the border. Keep up the great work!

Hello Carla,
I LOVE what you did with my article. The magazine just keeps getting better and better. I have only done a quick browse through the whole thing and before I find the time to sit down and actually read it, I had to let you know how slick it looks. Now you have to ask yourself, "How do I improve on perfection?" because you are there.

Hello.
I must congratulate you on a great magazine. I look forward to getting it and finding all sorts of new ideas, reading about what others are creating, just learning from the articles.
Thank you,

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.

It’s a jolly time of year; the kind that involves wrapping presents and unwrapping our Festive 2011 issue!
In this issue you’ll find some projects that can be whipped up in an afternoon: Let it Snow (cross stitch), Polish Santa (cross stitch), Gift Card Pockets (sewing and embroidery), Flowerz (kanzashi) and plenty of cool ideas in fabric-adabra on wrapping and making gifts with ‘fabric pages’ (sewing).
The rest of the projects will take a little longer… but so well worth the time invested! 2 quilts, 2 Fair Isle mitten patterns, 3 variations on a scarf motif, and 3 smocked and 3 beaded tree ornaments. You know there’s more…crochet, bargello, canvaswork, wet felting, and Swedish weaving!
Between making cookies and a planning your repertoire of carols, you might want to sit a spell and read something needlework related:
1. Artist Profile Cynthia McNair;
2. Needles and Threads by Elaine Theriault
3. How to Read a Fabric Book
4. Motif Magic Cynthia MacDougall
5. The First Rug Trail
6. The Best Seat in the House .
Create and give with all your heart! Wishing you a Christmas-time filled with peace and joy.
