Magpie September Issue: Country Fair

Magpie September Issue: Country Fair

Happy Summer Everyone!

The cover art for our September issue of Magpie Times: Country Fair was hooked by Kelli Smith. Isn't it amazing?

Believe it or not, we’re already starting to work on the September issue of Magpie Times: Country Fair. The deadline for contributions (whole articles or photos for the gallery) is coming up fast. We need to have everything in by August 1.

Deana and I have been so amazed and pleased by the creativity and generosity of our contributors. Maybe you’d like to do an article or send in a gallery shot? Here are some of the topics we’re interested in for the September issue:

Weaving

Spinning

Dyeing

Canning your harvest

Sheep

Herding Dogs

3-D Crochet

Macrame

Locker Hooking

Flower Pounding/Flower Drying

Memories of past country fairs

Wagon Wheel Rugs

Corn Husk Dolls

You can send your articles and photos to me at littlehouserugs@hotmail.com. When you send photos, please be sure to include:

In other news: 

I'll be teaching my All-In-One Beginning Rug Hooking Class at the PNW Fiber Expo in Port Angeles, WA on October 5, 2024, 9:00 a.m. to noon. In this class, students will learn all the basics of rug hooking, including hooking with yarn, T-shirt strips, wool fabric strips, and even cotton strips! As soon as they start taking registrations, I'll let you know.

Magpie Times: Midsummer Magic is still available in print and digital options. I did get a few copies that got scuffed in the shipping process that I'll sell for $14 each. Just light damage to the cover, not to the interior. If you're interested in saving a bit of money, you can order one here until they run out!

Thanks so much everyone! We’ll have lots more news about the September issue coming up!

Cheers!

Judy
