This is a WONDERFUL magazine, IMHO...I especially like the new magazine
format, which started, I believe, with the Summer 1996 issue. The number
to reach them is (510) 685-4119, or you can email them at
Abig...@aol.com. Someone told me that some of the ladies that produce
this magazine used to edit the older Cross-Stitch and Country Crafts that
most of us prefer over the past few years--I don't know if this is true.
Also, our very own Martha Beth is a contributing editor...

I just received the Autumn 1996 issue in the mail on Saturday, and it is
wonderful!
There are a lot of designs by Donna Yuen -- a minature cinnamon bag, an
autumn elf sitting on a toadstool and the first in a series of hardanger
hearts that are finished as ornaments. She also designed the cover piece,
"Table Grace Sampler," which is a beautiful sample with a countryside at
the top and a number of specialty stitches.
The "Featured Designer" section has a profile of Candace Kling and
instructions to make a Berry Bud Nosegay from ribbons.
There is also a pattern for an English school girl sampler that is adapted
from Amelia Newark's 1840 sampler , a review of the textile collection
from the Fine Arts Museums of San Francisco and the Progessive Sampler
continuing feature covers the chevron stitch.
"The Story of Nordic Needle" tells how the company first began and there
is an accompanying hardanger design by Roz.
Last, but definitely not least, is Martha Beth Lewis' article, "Where
Stitchers Hang Out in Cyberspace," which talks about RCTN. She also hints
that "The Needleworker" will soon have a home page on the web!
I've been a really happy subscriber since the unfortunate demise of
"Treasures in Needlework." I'm really glad the editors that ran
"Treasures" have been so successful with this magazine -- each issue of
"The Needleworker" seems to have even more patterns and is more like
"Treasures" than ever!
No affiliation, etc....

almost all forms of needlework. The charst maybe a little on the small
size, but easy to read. I've gotten all the back issues too.

This is a wonderful magazine!! I've subscribed to it ever since its very
first edition, and each issue is better than the previous ones. I highly
recommend subscribing to this publication. I fully intend to subscribe
to this magazine for as long as it is published without missing an issue,
it's that good IMHO. The editor, Gail Egbert, of "The Needleworker" can
be contacted at Abig...@aol.com if anyone would like information.
Sweet Stitching!

I just subscribed to this magazine after finding something about it on the
internet. It is an absolutely fabulous publication. Does anyone know of
any other high-calibre publications, such as this one? I just love to
read these magazines to see what is new and what others are stitching.

Needlework Guild started by CA Wells and Debbie Novak (I think there are
a couple of other founders in there, too). It's great! Has a VERY COOL
pineapple bellpull project in the premier issue that will continue all
year. I don't have the address at my fingertips, but if anyone is
interested, please e-mail me and I'll dig it up. I think it's $45 for 2
years...and I signed up for the first two years after seeing the premier
issue. We need more of this type of projects since we lost BOTH
Treasures and Cross-Stitch Sampler magazines.

How about posting the information on subscribing to this magazine and a
brief review of the contents of one or two of them? I would be
interested in hearing more about the contents and then have the
subscription information handy to subscribe right then. Thanks a bunch!

I am a new subscriber after hearing about it here..I enjoy the magazine
but would like to see some designs other than Donna Yuen's. Her designs
are good but how about some variety? Regards!

Just saw a pre-release screening of Twelfth Night on Monday with Helena
Bonham-Carter, Ben Kingsley and Nigel Hawthorne to name a few. (Directed
by Trevor Nun) What a fun flick! Old Bill does it again. And can we talk
about the clothing and the tapestries hanging from the walls of those
incredible looking estates and castles? To die for...

So, does anyone have the e-mail address for The Needleworker?
I haven't seen an issue in quite some time, and I'm wondering
if they didn't get my change of address. :-(.
