Theresa Jones, from Mount Ommaney,
Qld, for her three Christmas wallhangings:“I wanted to share with your readers what I made from the
Christmas projects published in Homespun in 2011 (Merry and
Bright, by Natalie Bird, from Vol 12 Nos 7-9), 2012 (Countdown to
Christmas, by Anni Downs, from Vol 13 No 7) and 2013 (It’s Time
for Christmas BOM, by Bronwyn Hayes, from Vol 14 Nos 2-11).
My three grandsons love these designs when I hang them for the
Christmas season. I completed them last Christmas Eve. I look
forward to each new magazine for inspiration for my next project.”One of the joys of putting Homespun together each month is seeing the vision of
our designers translated into personal masterpieces by our enthusiastic readers.
We’d love to hear from you, too. Write to us with your crafty triumphs or with
any tips, advice and new-product sightings you’d like to share with others.SEND YOUR LETTERS TO:
