It is time for Australian Homespun Magazine giveaway!!! In fact I have three Australian Homespun Magazines 9.4 just waiting for a new home to go to. This issue has some wonderful projects featured. Definitely something for everyone.
You can see some of the great projects here, here, and here. There is a whole lot more inside, including Norwegian designer Tone Finnanger.
All you need to do to be in the running for one of these fabulous magazines, no matter where you live, is leave a comment sharing what you love about Aussie magazines. Maybe you could share a story about your favourite creation from Homespun. (Just a thought, LOL)...
Oh, just a reminder, our stock of Rosalies' new book Gift, Bronwyns' new book, Little Chicken Feather and Friends, and Cotton Country, will be arriving soon.
Have you pre-ordered your copy?
I love, love, love Australian magazines and all the wonderful quilt designers that live there. I first was introduced to Leanne Beasley's website and immediately bought the Leanne's House BOM. Since then I follow blogs for many Australian designers and they are the best. I love the combination of quilting, applique and stitchery!

I would love the magazines. I enjoy making my nieces and nephews and sisters quilt and stitchery items. Once I'm done with a magazine I always pass them on so more people can enjoy them. The Australian magazines are hard to find in our small farm town.

I just love Aussie magazines! They are full of beautiful projects.Amazing talented people down under for sure. Sure wish those mags were easy to get here in Canada. When I walk into a quilt shop that has one I grab it right away.

I love everything about the Aussie magazines. The designs, stitcheries, colors, articles. They are hands down my all time favorites.
But never mind about Darlene....pick me! :)

We can buy Homespun in the UK but they are always a few months behind and not available in the newsagents. I love the combination of patchwork and stitchery and the Aussie designers are just the best there are.

I have bought the last couple of issues of Homespun, and Vol 9.3 has just arrived in the local shop here where I live in NZ- I love to read the articles just as much as I enjoy trying to decide which projects I would like to make( if only I had more time in the day!) It's a wonderful magazine.

Well if you're going to pick Darlene, then you need to also Pick Me, Pick Me....lol... What can I say, it's all about home, for me.

I love the stitcheries in the Australian magazines. I only have a few Homespun magazines, but I used to subscribe to Country Threads and I have made quite a few projects from those.

Hi Kim,
Thankyou for the Rosalie Quinlin patterns, they arrived yesterday. What do I like about Australian quilting magaines? Well, they are filled with beautiful projects that I actually think I could make. Unfortunately thats are far as I get- thinking I could make them. I don't think that I've actally made anything! Lovely to keep dreaming though!

Hello,
I love the Aussie magazines, the design range is huge. In each issue you can put a name to the design. Wonderful products!

Hi,
yet, I hadn't had a chance to look inside HOMESPUN magazine - but from what I could see on the front pics, I love it anyway.
I admire the soooo talented Aussi designers, think their creations are sor GORGEOUS.
I would love to get this mag - not only because there is a project of Natalie Lymer included...(I'm just working on one of her freebees...)
Thanks for the opportunity!
Greetings from Germany,
Julia

Homespun is such a great read. It has something for everyone from a pincushion which can be finished very quickly to quilts which just take a little longer.

I love the stitchery and the quilts have such a lovely look to them. They blend so beautifully with the stitcheries. They're irresistable. I wish I could afford to subscribe. I think the Aussie mags are way better than American mags. I have often said the Aussie ladies have it hands down when it comes to stitchery over Americans. The stitcheries here just DO NOT compare.

What I love about Australian magazines ?
I love the style, the colours, the variety in each magazine, and the fact that the Homespun magazine and Country Threads magazine always has some stitcheries in them :-)
Please include me in the magazine draw :-)

The projects on the cover of Homespun always look very tempting. The Aussie quilters are so talented and produce such colourful projects. Sadly, we are unable to get Homespun in the Netherlands. When I have enough money :) I might get a subscription (For people living outside australia this is not a cheap option). Would love to receive a copy, so enter me in the draw. If I get picked I'll naturally let you know, through my blog, what I think of the content.

I've only seen two copies in America, but what I loved about them is the varying needleworks, not just quilting,not just embroidery, but several different outlets. I also like the bios about the artists... a peak into the lives of talented ladies.
