Getting one of these in the mail.
You know what's even more fun?
Getting two of these in the mail on the same day.
I've been lucky enough to get two of my pieces of "fancy work" published by Stampington. My grandma always called stitching and embroidery "fancy work".
I enjoy all of the Somerset/Stampington publications, but these two are probably my favorites, because I love combining stitching, trims, laces and fibers.
My altered baby dress is in Sew Somerset.
And the free style sampler I made after taking Teresa McFayden's class is in Art Quilting Studio.
I haven't had a chance to really look through the magazines yet. I like to set aside a chunk of time so I can look through them slowly and savor them for inspiration. For me, these are not fast food magazines, they are a gourmet reading experience- and I'm thrilled to be included as a small part of the meal.
Hmmm....with that analogy, you can probably tell that I've been watching Top Chef Masters.
