Simply...wonderful! Simply...the BEST! Simply Vintage!

I bought my Simply Vintage a couple of weeks ago...the second it hit the book shelves!  Yes, this is the Winter 2015 issue #17!  For some reason, we don't get it till after the fact...Winter is here and has been here for awhile now...it's 2016...and I am now working on Spring Projects.  But I will forgive them...because Simply Vintage is Simply THE BEST regardless of when it hits the News Stands!  



This issue certainly didn't disappoint...TONS of eye candy and wonderful projects to make and drool over!  I'm not even upset that I already own two of the patterns because the other projects make up for it!  

I have already made Winter Wonderland...well technically it's still a UFO...but it's near completion!  I just need some Big stitch hand quilting and the binding and she will be done!  And what better incentive to 'get 'er done' than to have it staring back at me out of this wonderful magazine!  
No, I don't have this pattern...and I LOVE IT!!  Sew darn cute and sew on my To Do List!

 This is another one that I thought I already owned...but I don't...but I DO NOW!!  (I own the PUMPKIN Pattern which is similar).  Isn't this one sweet!
 And of course, this one is a winner all round!  LOVE this one!
 I also wanted to show you this one...the perfect example of framed blocks looking absolutely gorgeous!
 There is also a wonderful article on Lori Smith...love her patterns!
 And here she is sitting at her sewing machine...in her sewing studio!  Why do famous quilt designers always have studios filled with yummy goodies...they never look messy or junky and there are always gorgeous drop-dead quilts hanging around EVERYWHERE?!  Such eye candy ...
See the quilt in the top right corner...that's the one that I made!!  Well not THAT quilt but one using that pattern...and I still LOVE that quilt even though the sashing was made from a pair of men's wool pants!  Yup, I practically ripped them right off the man who was having the Garage Sale!  Hey, don't judge...wool was hard to find back in the olden days...:o)

So YES, I really enjoyed the Winter Issue of Simply Vintage...but come on!  We want SPRING!  Just imagine the kind of damage we could do (...as in sewing) if we got these magazines early...Boggles the mind, doesn't it!!

Have a SUNNY Sunday and happy stitching!~P

    I'm so glad you finally got a copy! I'm glad I ordered mine online and won't have to search for them any longer.

    I may have to join you in making a winter wonderland after I catch up on a few other thing.

    I'm so glad you finally found a copy, I got my online order a month ago, so glad I don't have to search for it any longer.

    There are some winners in that issue, I may have to join you in making a winter wonderland!

    Paulette this is my favourite magazine also. We get our copies in complete opposite seasons so when we got this one of course its middle of summer. Do love it though.

    certainly a magazine filled to the brim with goodness, we do not seem to be getting the USA magazines here as often as we used to, always checking when I go into the city
