Review: Vignette Issue 1 (242)

 

As promised, here’s my review of the Vignette Magazine by Leanne Beasley (remember she designed Journey of a Quilter)…I’m in LUV! I LUV the pictures, the colour saturation in the photos, the PHOTOS are amazing, the recipes, the full colours stitchery images, all of the projects and inspiration…here’s my review and your preview. I’ve sold out of all of my copies so far so good as they say…more en route because YOU just can’t get enough:)

How about curling up in this chair to do your stitching – looks perfectly comfortable for me and Tig!

this just says how I feel each and every day

Last but not least or should I say the main part of this mag is this incredible 16 part block of the month project starting from Issue 1. See Kathy’s start in this recent blog post, Show off YOUR Stuff, she may just inspire you.

If you’ve read this magazine I’d love to hear your review and if you’ve started the block of the month, please send me some pics…I haven’t decided if I want to start this now or next year Yikes…not sure what to do here as I can’t possibly add another block of the month to my existing 5!!! Until next time stay happy, dry, and creative! Valerie

Cotton Floss Book Review (241)

This is our newest only book that we’re carrying…that’s because Natalie emailed me asking me if I’d be one of the few Canadian shoppes carrying it – I, with pleasure accepted the challenge…so far it hasn’t been to hard to accept this challenge as I sold out of the book from this post.

I love it!! It’s a true gem and would make a great addition to your sewing/quilting and embroidery books in your present stash.

Cinderberry Stitches, Natalie’s company has an amazing way of putting whimsy into everything…she makes you believe in fairies and the cuties in life and takes you back to being a little girl with dreams. All of these come through in the stitcheries she and her team design.

All 12 projects are in full colours and full sizes so no photocopying – thank YOU Natalie:)

Her photos throughout the book are sew inspiring and absolutely delightful…

 

 

Sew if you feel so inclined to purchase it for your stash…I have more copies on order so not to worry:) they are on their way…

Kind Words: Bev (240)

Sew after my article came out in the Quilter’s Connection Magazine (post 239, yesterday) Bev sent me these kind words…thanks sew much Bev for taking the time to write in.

I just found your website in Quilter’s Connection Magazine. Loved the article and am very curious about your site. Would like to receive your newsletter, and read your blog.  Will take my time browsing on your site and maybe do some shopping. Great to find Canadian sites and magazines. Your teas look very interesting, as I have never tried loose teas, I think it would be a nice change. Bev M.

What a nice note…I hope you’ve had a chance to check out the magazine or you can order it here
