SUMMARY: Despite it being mostly embroidery articles - and many of those requiring one of the very expensive embroidery machines, I was still enchanted while going through the two issues I've gotten so far - certainly enchanted enough to go ahead and start keeping an eye out for more of this magazine. It has a lot of advertising in it, but not quite so much that I felt I'd bought a collection of ads rather than useful craft articles. You get a large pattern insert sheet stapled into the center so they can give you sewing patterns for children's clothes and dolls along with embroidery transfers, which I liked very much. I would say that the majority of patterns are heirloom quality(no "Quick and Easy" here, folks). While this magazine is no longer being published and it looks like it may have had a very short life of only 6 issues, the website still exists and offers a free e-newsletter and classes. There's also a full-color paper doll in each issue(that I've cataloged thus far) for those who collect them.

They have a website: http://www.marthapullen.com/

HOW TO MAKE THIS MAGAZINE CATALOG SEARCHABLE:
METHOD ONE(downside is it takes some effort and time):
1. Open a blank page in your favorite word processing program.
2. Right click and "SELECT ALL"
3. Right click and "COPY"
4. "PASTE" or CTRL"V" what you copied into the blank page(it could take a while depending on the size of the page)
5. Use the search function as you normally would. Try to stick to only one word, since authors will sometimes use their middle initial, then not, change names, etc.
6. Trash the blank page when you're done.

METHOD TWO(downside is you have to wade through a lot of HTML code to read the entries):
1. Right click and "VIEW SOURCE". This will bring up a second window that will give you a behind-the-stage look at my coding along with the entries. There is a search function on source pages. Use it as you would the search function for a word processor(see METHOD 1). Close the Source page when you're done.

Anyone with more information about this publication, or has issues to donate or sell, can contact me through My Contact Page.
