New stitching magazine in Canada

I saw a new magazine at Chapters today called Needle Pulling Thread, a Canadian magazine.. A first issue. There were 7-8 pieces on different forms of needlework broadly defined (so it included beaded drapes for Christmas balls, a purse using rug hooking, and fabric art that was primarily rubber stamping on fabric, but with some machine sewing). The projects varied considerably in interest for me, but seemed to be aiming at teaching/introducing the techniques involved, so that, e.g., the machine quilted placemats could be done by a rank novice like me. I didn't have time to read the articles, but they seemed to be going for more than project instructions. (One article was on Thea Dueck, and included two charts by her.) Nice pictures. I do intend to go back and take a second look--a Canadian magazine would be nice for lots of reasons including sourcing supplies in Canada. (so I do hope it is not really an Ontario-centered magazine but looks further afield.) Dawne

Canadian sources would be nice. Joan sent me a fabulous link and I decided to do the chart she linked for that brat in NB. However, a US$6 chart became US$15 to mail to Canada ! Now our post office stinks and maybe the one in the States does too, but US$15, I don't think so, not for a joke anyway. Do they think we are fools ???

By the way, I did email the designer and she protested they use cardboard folders and ship courier, maybe but couldn't I have the choice of just putting it in an envelope and dropping in the mail?

I saw the first copy at our Guild meeting last week - looks like it might be very good. We voted to get a subscription.

Brat in N.B. - now who would that be? You could improvise for that simple chart really - so many of these designers put out something really quite easy as this one and want $12 and up for it - I don't think so!!! - I could chart it myself - and I have enough cross-stitch books to pick out a flower to stick on the side. And besides all that, $15 could buy a rather nice bottle of the good stuff. :-))
