SUMMARY: These were delightful, if all too short. Judith included a tutorial of a particular technique, then included patterns where the technique could be practiced without a lot of pain. She included a wealth of news about the local tatters and their gatherings, where supplies could be had, new books that could be ordered, and in every issue references found in literary works and bits of poetry. I enjoyed all of them and was very happy to be gifted the complete set for the bibliography project(Thank you!).
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.
