Today’s SBQ is:
Do you currently subscribe to any stitching publications or have you in the past? (Either in print or online) If so, which ones?
Yes I do and I have.
I recently subscribed to Just Cross Stitch on a whim. I was flipping though one of my Ornie issues one night when a subscription card fell into my lap so I filled it out and dropped it in the mailbox the next morning. I have only received two issues so I can’t really give a solid opinion on whether or not my subscription is worth it yet, but I will say that so far I have seen things in both issues that I might think about stitching.
In 2006, when I was living in Germany, I subscribed to The World of Cross Stitching and I think that it is a nice British magazine. In my opinion, most of the charts were barely above intermediate-level so I didn’t find as many “must stitch” designs in it as I had hoped I would. However, I did get some nice samples of those “cutsie” designs such as Newton, Tatty Teddy, and Country Companions that, at the time, I thought I wanted to stitch. (FYI: To date I have yet to stitch any of those designs!)

This one was fun. Though I am a one woman cross stitch magazine store, lol. Here are my links: Amarantine’s edition, hev-tiger (livejournal) edition, & finally Hev’s Stitching edition. They all say the same thing, but I thought you all might like to know where I put the SBQ up at since I link I link it back to here.

I received a subscription to Cross Stitch Crazy a few years ago. I had it for a year, but $120/year was a bit pricey. REALLY loved the setup, etc. Had lots of small projects-which I really enjoy more than HUGE ones.
