One of my Praternal Granfathers , published several Handcraft, sewing etc, mags. "Ariadne' "Marion" etc... Some aren`t published anymore and some aren`t craft anymore only `style`. But i do meet many of the patterns i remember from his mags [ and i still have many of the mags] In Xst books. Many times i look at those patterns esp those that are `based ` or lean towards Traditional Dutch patterns [ or relate to some Dutch Lore i remember], and think one could use part of one of those patterns and develope it into a very personal work ,,,, And lately it happens for me i stearted some detail from the mags`s patternn and let it grow into a very personal work ,,,, The part that i kept was first the Mag`s name itself , which for me has a very personal meaning and than it developed further... mirjam
