I picked up this issue of Creative Machine Embroidery on my trip to Florida in March and I just got another one in New York. They each came with a CD with designs. I haven't got around to trying any of the projects but I enjoyed reading the various articles about machine embroidery.
I'm not sure why these magazines are SO expensive but I can't resist buying them. I could actually buy a BOOK for the amount I spend on them but I consider it a treat and it's definitely a form of inspiration. I like the ads, too!
Things have been so busy around here with one kid back from university and the other two ready to graduate high school. Mother is still in her own home at 89 and that demands a fair bit of time as well. Going away and catching up when you get back always throws a monkey wrench in the routine as well! I'm in between sewing projects at the moment and am anxious to finish up some scrapbooking stuff - my Disney album and now New York, not to mention my 2012 review album and some other miscellaneous ones (like grad proofs & the 'family' album). That all makes me feel a little overwhelmed and sometimes that leads to just doing nothing but sitting on the sofa reading fun magazines like this one!
