I can pick you one up from the shops when it's released if that would be easier for you than trying to get one in the states? *Is aware some people have problems with it*

Ummm...., a country scene, a badger, some garden designs, Baby christening shoes, allium flowers, a time for tea sampler and anniversary teddy cards. I'll take a picture of the index when my rose fairy edition comes through the post if you like ^_^ I generally get my subs issue about a week or two before it hits the shops, so plenty of time to post an index before it hits the shops here.

In fact, if there's any British mags you want, jut PM me and I'll have a look for you. WHSmiths stocks them all I believe except WOXS, which tescos stocks, so it's easy to get any of them.

Thanks so much for the info Angel--looking forward to seeing what the other designs look like, but I know I am going to want the magazine regardless. As for the other magazines, if I see one I have to have I may just be sending you a pm :D :lol:

Great biscournu Ali, amazing!!

I got a HUGE bundle of Madeira threads as my 'Letters prize' from a magazine. I'm imressed; there are about 30 solid colours and a handful of variegated (of which, the colours of one in particular is worthy of a hand-dyed silk producer - a beautiful combo of aubergine, slate & chestnut tones).
