Dear Knitting Daily Members,
One of the many things that I love about my job as editor of PieceWork is connecting with our readers. Whether it's a suggestion for an article, pictures of projects they've completed, a question about a needlework technique, or even a complaint, the feedback helps to make PieceWork a better magazine. And I value the interaction.
PieceWork is the only magzine that covers all the wonderful history and techniques of needlework. If you knit, quilt, tat, crochet, or embroider, PieceWork has something for you. You'll learn lots of history with our in-depth articles, enjoy our beautiful photographs, and have fun making heirloom projects for your family and friends. We'd love to hear from you: Do you have an idea for an article? Is there a technique or needlworker from the past that you've always wanted to learn more about? Please send your ideas and suggestions to piecework@interweave.com. And, if you're not already a subscriber, I hope you'll take advantage of the special offer below. I look forward to hearing from you!
Best,
Jeane Hutchins

 | | Take a look at the current issue... The July/August issue is an homage to samplers. Before patterns, sample books were the only way for crafters to remember how to make the various stitches for their craft. You'll discover sample books made for sewing, smocking, crochet, and bobbin-lace; we'll take a look at an embroidery sample book made by students in 1913 which is currently in the Colorado State University Museum; you'll get charts to knit the 13 basic elements for Orenburg-style knitted lace; and, so much more!

"PieceWork and its history never ceases to amaze me. I sure say 'wow' and 'oh my goodness' sharing these wonderful textile artists of the past and learning the situations that brought needlework into their hands. Thanks so much for my favorite and the only magazine I get." | |  |
