I have to say that I'm underwhelmed again. There are no "must stitch" ornaments for me in this issue, although I really like both the monsterbubbles tree and the silver band bulb ornament.<BR/><BR/>I like that the table of contents lists page numbers for both picture and chart, but agree that they need to be cross-referenced Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06452682935744860737noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5709631.post-49213649239630873412008-09-26T17:37:00.000-04:002008-09-26T17:37:00.000-04:00I love your reviews...

It arrived in pieces and looks like it was put through a wood chipper. I'm pretty sure that at least 26% of it is missing/unreadable/torn/ripped/and peed on.

But I usually don't get around to stitching most of them, so, oh well! I do think it would be nice to have the charts with the pictures and stick to one designer per page if possible.<BR/><BR/>I'm still waiting to get mine so thanks Rachel Vhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01028127244408392901noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5709631.post-34381095115826374182008-09-23T09:56:00.000-04:002008-09-23T09:56:00.000-04:00I did a quick browse of the magazine last week - b...I did a quick browse of the magazine last week - before it was supposed to be "officially" for sale.
