Eeeek last century, that is a frightening thought!

I think the first magazine I bought was an issue of Jane Greenoff's Cross Stitch, I stitched 3 designs from it, 2 samplers and a canal boat, all 3 of which I still have and they hang in our kitchen

That is brilliant! :D
When I look back at old magazines, they have a lot more pages and therefore, patterns, than they have now.

I received my prize yesterday. I am very happy about it as my daughter really likes Paris. I will stitch this for her as a surprise.
So, it is well worth it to send our photos to magazines! :D
