1st phase of my mag galore..........

Most of my mags are all back dated issues. I bought them in bulk from my personal craft mags & books supplier. I normally get the mags attached with the free patterns or kits. I will try to give some snapshots of the content. All the prices are the same RM 15 a copy except for Cross Stitch Gold which is RM 18 a copy. All my mags I kept in the plastic bags (came when it was purchased). These are the latest that I can find from the racks. I will try to dig up more (as I do not want Rozi to notice that I am selling it off.....)...any of you who interested to purchase or swap from me, please email me ct underscore stitchingbarn dot com (yeaahhh u should know I to figure it out yourself!!!!...)....I can just sit and flipping my mags for hours without doing anything else!!!.........Some of the mags I have more than one, I put as a standby for gift...



This Cross Stitch Gold issue 47 full with exclusive Spring Garden concept. I really like the sunflower teapot and country garden featured on the cover page. This mag also contain a rich traditional sampler from English Rose Embroideries....how I wish I could stitch it all!!! They are so lovely.....











This World of Cross Stitching is from issue 121....it comes with the Blue Tits Giant chart....My fav from this issue is the Crocus bowl planter (Tulip) and the romantic sampler "Stitch from the Heart"...





This Cross Stitcher mag is from issue 184 March 2007.
It contained designs from two of my fav designer namely Joan Elliot and Ellen M Stroh....The theme of this issue is more for mother days stitching....The floral pattern from Ellen is very pretty & sweet...I wish I have enough time to snap the pattern and put it here.....



Sorry the photo is not so clear...will try to snap again ...This Cross Stitch Crazy mag is from issue 96 March 2007.. It comes with free luxury card pack (Cuddly Buddly card!)...This is also special for Mother Days. My personal favorite pattern is "Ewe Make me smile by Gail Bussi (I just love the cute ewe)...For those who love Cuddly Buddly bear this is a must have collection!!.






SOLD OUT & OUT OF STOCK
This is my favorite from all the mags of 2007 Issue 185 April 2007. This mag comes with the bonus pattern from D&C book collection..My favorite is a beautiful classic sampler from Moira. She use linen thread for this sampler. Linen thread are very sweet and gorgeous to stitch (I have not tries as yet but I can see it from this design...). This will be my next WIP I guess.... My fav from the D&C books is the flower from Cross Stitch Flower by Jayne Natley (they are so bright and beautiful colors...











I will have a separate posting for unwanted charts particularly fairies flowers, cuddly bear, cartoon etc...etc...I am just into sampler and flowers........... I will have more digging to be done especially for all this patterns..........hhhhhmmmmm....

Fairies Flower chart

This was free chart from the Cross Stitcher June 2005. I have been keeping it with me for 2 year!! It's a giant chart with design area of 14 x 20 inc.

I have been planning this for a swap with someone in the USA but I am not sure whether she wants this (I have not asked her as yet...)

For those who love Fairies Flower, this is a must have!! Reason : as Cathy said on this chart " All your favorite Flower Fairies in one collector set!" For those who thinks that they can't stitch the whole pattern , they may opt for one or two pattern from the chart.....

So, Fairies Flower lovers wait no more!!!!!!!!!!!!

Welcome to my world!!!

The main reason I start on this blog is to put all my unwanted stash or magazine so that others who wanted them can buy or swap with my Wishlist.


I have not snap any photos as yet as I need to sort all the stuffs that I do not need at this point of time. I do not want to regret later once I had decided to put here. I guess there are lots of things to organize especially the bulk of magazine with the charts....I hope it won't take it ages to complete or I will do stage by stage ............



I encourages local stitcher from Malaysia but if you are outside Malaysia, maybe we could discuss on email : ct_stitchingbarn@yahoo.com (yeaahhh ct with underscore stitchingbarn dot com!! LOL....)



Happy stitching!!
