I've been doing quite a bit of designing lately, and have lots of ideas for new samplers – although Mom keeps reminding me, "Honey, I need a more traditional sampler. Please. You're overdue. And make it red. But if you don't want to do it in red, then that's fine too. But I need a more traditional sampler. And btw, when you submit a new photo to JCS this year, make it a good one."
?
I suddenly remembered her saying something similar about my elementary school pictures I proudly brought home.
Anyway, as some of you may know, I had the honor of being in the Just Cross Stitch January/February issue this year. The editor sent me a few magazines to give away, but so far I haven't had any takers, besides my mom. (Okay, fine, she was thrilled.) So if there are a couple of you who would be interested, I have two to give away.
There are some sweet designs inside, including one by Praiseworthy Stitches called Winter at Beacon House (pictured in the middle). Mine is called Winter Wind Sampler (on the right).
Please either email me or leave a comment below this post if you're interested. And if there are more than two people, we'll draw names!

Hi Paulette!
I’d love one of those magazines!!
And, I’d love you do sign your design in it!
I am in Canada, if that’s a problem.
Take care

Sadie
Oh, a red sampler sounds lovely!
I would love to have a copy of the JCS magazine, please add my name to the hat 🙂

Paulette, now come one…of course there would be more than a “couple” of us that 1) wouldn’t have a copy of the January JCS yet and 2) would want to stitch your new design. Please *count* me in! What were you thinking? That we don’t love you anymore? Silly girl! 😉

Please enter me into your drawing! I would love a copy of this issue!!

I’dlike a copy of the issue. It’s really hard to find JCS around here. The LNS only orders the Christmas issue.
Congrats on being featured!

i’m with mom on the red traditional sampler! 🙂
and i already bought my issue….are you really just 30 as the article stated? and brea is 21 and my math is rusty?????
LLLY!!!
Paulette
LOL, Joann! No, definitely not. I went and re-checked the article and it said “The 30-year cross stitch veteran…” Not 30-year-old! 😉

hi Paulette i would love to stitch one of your new designs. I just finished Christmas at Hawk Run Hollow and it would be fun to stitch a smaller piece. btw I am a fan of your bunnies and have stitched all of them except for your two newest ones. I hope the bunnies keep coming. Susan

And also, if I am the lucky winner would you autograph it please? When the cast come off of my left hand (in 10 days) I will be back to stitching. Have a blessed day. Janet

Hi Paulette!
I would love to have a copy! I don’t know why I don’t have a subscription to this magazine. I went through an economizing phase some time ago and got rid of all my mags. Miss them!

Don’t include me in the draw, Paulette, since I already have this issue. I’m commenting to say that this issue is really great – the best in recent memory. For those who don’t win, buy this issue – it’s worth the $6. (I have no conenction to JCS/Hoffman, I just loved this issue, errors and all!)

I’m a faithful follower but don’t have much time to comment. Please enter me-your design is so pretty!
beritbunny
Oh, please pick me~! 😀
I’ve been looking for this issue (because I love your piece in it, and the Praiseworthy one is also great), but the bookshops don’t have it. And my ONS doesn’t sell JCS! Wah!
Thanks for your generosity, though, whoever you pick!

I love any & all counted cross-stitch. I’m re-building my collection since a huge move and a 7ft flood over-took my basement.
