I'm in a magazine, #2!


I'm so excited to share my second magazine appearance! Country Living, the May 2009 issue, is featuring my embroidered hand print project. This time, my project takes up the whole page. Cool.
If you happen to grab this magazine off the shelf, it's in the Idea Notebook section under DIY Made Easy, page 77. If you'd like to see the web version, you can find it here. If you'd like to read my original post, find it here.
I embroidered my kids' hand prints for the grandparents in our family this past Christmas, but this would be a great project for Mother's Day, as well. You know, for you to make for your mothers. Although making one for yourself will probably be tempting. I still intend to make one for our home. Let's see if I do that before our hands are all the same size.
Oh, and remember last time when I mentioned having a couple other magazine mentions in the works and hoped I hadn't jinxed anything by saying so? It appears I did. The article I was most looking forward to was, unfortunately, scheduled to appear in the Spring issue of a magazine that met it's demise. Darn.
Happy embroidering!

I had the magazine on my coffee table and just flipped to your article! Congrats! How super for you! My "little boy" (age 35) still surprises me and draws his handprint on cards for me.

What a great idea... I can't sew, at all, but I am going to give it a shot! Maybe with cutouts and a glue gun... I am a Mean Glue-gunner! Love your site and am adding it to my faves!

We loved your idea in CL...in fact I thought of requesting handprint tracings from all of our sister-in-laws (scattered everywhere) so that we could make one big collage of handprings for each of our mother-in-laws.
Wonderful idea - congratulations on the article!

I saw the front page of "idea notebook" and I thought, "I can do that!" Great job!

Really nice! I did this as a wallhanging (Christmas gift) for our parents about 12 years ago using all (parents, children, grandchildren) our handprints. I used everyone's favorite color for their hand, then had them sign it with fabric pens. Daddy has since past on, and it's a joy to see his strong hand hanging on the wall.

Autumn said...

That's amazing, congrats!

Were you going to be in Domino?
