How Exciting!

You can just imagine our delight over the last week as we received copies of two fabulous Australian magazines in the mail.  We were so excited to see that both of them contain an article on us and a project from us!!!!  It was just so exciting and we are so thrilled with these great articles.

We had such a blast working with both of these amazing magazines and thank them so much for this great opportunity.

Country Threads contains a project from us to make a gorgeous "Melly & me" bag and Homespun has a pattern for our Flossie, "Fab Fishy!"

They should both hit the stands in the next week some time so make sure you grab a copy!

Now I am going to escort "Dilbert" and "Magoo" (the name I have given my new monkey friend) off to their photo shoot and then get stuck into writing their patterns.  They should appear in pattern form very soon and of course this will be followed by a giveaway celebration. 

May the floss be with you!! - Melly

OOOO!!! That is SO COOL!!! :) I hope those mags sell like hot cakes now because of you two! and may you have many more chances to get out there and be famous in the glossy magazines! :) hehe

Too bad that we don't have them in France !!

Congratulations! How wonderful, a new Flossie in the magazine? And a new bag? I hope lots of magazines will be sold. I’ve searched for them in Holland, up to now I have only discovered I can subscribe on the internet for a whole year and I was scared off by the costs. I hope I can find the separate issues! Wouldn’t it be wonderful if one of your wholesalers would sell these magazines?

Good for you girls, well done :-D

[Gail]

Congrats to you both. Now I will have to go to the newsagency and find these books. My magazine library is growing fast. Will have to find a bookshelf soon.
Thanks for sharing.

I actually subscribe to Homespun and LOVED the fish... so I'll just have to go out and search for the bag... Couldn't have one without the other! Well done girls. Can't wait to see you again Rosie - at the Highfields Stitcher's Dream Day. Preparation has been ongoing and excitement is mounting!! Melly - you could come too! You could stay at my place and we'd have lots of fun!!

Congratulations! I'll definitely be looking out for both of these magazines!

The word is out here in America that Australian craft magazines are as hot as the rage for Japanese ones. You Aussies are marvelous.

Hi, love the bag - can't wait to start making it. I was so excited when I got my mag in the post and saw your project. Well done girls.

Oh well done. I'll have to visit the newsagents tomorrow!

HI Girls,
I now have both mags and I LOVE the projects in both!! Great to see you hit two mags in one month - I bet you'll be busy and I hope you get LOTS of great feedback. Am now off to pack for our trip to the snow - I live in South-East Queensland, so it will be an experience for our two girls and us. Here's hoping there's enough snow to make our landings soft!

[Tracy]

[Mette]
