Noah's Ark, Bear Alphabet, Koala, Deer, Wentzler, Mirabilia, and morePatterns, tips, stitch diagrams, finishing directions, designer spotlights, shop spotlights, book reviews, and more.
Lots and lots of terrific projects.
Notes -
Dec 1985 and Feb 1986 are really both labeled Volume 3, #4. December's cover says "Bonus Christmas Ornaments".
March/April 2016 and March/April 2017 are both labeled Volume 35 but the rest of 2016 is labeled Volume 34 so I listed it correctly.
Several of the December issues are labeled #7 because November is #6.
The October 2017, Volume 35 #5 issue is missing the first 4 pages. If you wish, I will include a color copy of those pages from my personal copy of this issue to make it a complete issue but those pages do not include any patterns. Page 3 is the table of contents, pages 4 and 5 is an ad for Annie's Needle Arts Festival Christmas in Williamsburg Nov 30-Dec 4, 2017, and page 6 is the Editor's letter and masthead.
Here's your chance to fill in your missing issues.
