Has anyone come across or know anything about The Gift of Stitching digital magazine? (URL: www.thegiftofstitching.com) I saw an advert for it in my usual stitching magazine, and wondered if anyone had any experience with it?

This is new to me too, but I've just had a look at the website. It looks pretty good. $15 is £7.81 in real money, so that's quite cheap for 12 issues. They seem to use a lot of different designers, plus they have their own gallery. I, too, would be interested to hear from anyone who has tried it. :)

That does sound interesting. I would like to hear from someone who has a subscription to see if it is worth getting. In my area the stores have stopped selling Xstitch mags. I guess it is not as popular as quilting or knitting cause they have lots of those.

This is very interesting I wonder how long it has been out there. This is the first time I have seen it but they are talking about, you can order back issues. How many are there and how do you know what is in them? I will ask on the other board I am a member of and see if anyone over there has seen it and let you girls know what I find out.

Just heard from another fourm. One of the stitchers says she has just renewed hers for a second year. They interview designers and the patterns are nice. There is another one called Needle Pulling Thread, and it is Canadian.

I asked on another forum and all of the replys from the ladies that are subscribed to the Gift of Stitching are good. They say it is well worth the money and you get a new "magazine" each month. The articles are very good and lots of fresh patterns. I may go ahead and subscribe.
