Few months back Mitu had mentioned about the Needle and thread magazine by Coats India in her blog. I haven't heard about any needle work magazine in India and i was curious when i heard about it.
I decided to subscribe this magazine when i went to India this time. I sent the subscription during the first week of November. It was time for me to come back…and i didn’t expect to see the magazine before i come back. I forgot to ask the LNS , who are the distributors for the Anchor threads for years. The Kareem Shop at the convent junction, cochin is the Anchor thread providers since my school days. I thought I'll call them and see if they have any old copies with them…they said they will check and after a day i got a call from them ….they had an old copy of the magazine….It was on the day before i was suppose to come back. I went there and they gave me the magazine free of cost.
…it is an old copy from 2002….I was glad that i subscribed for the right magazine…after flipping through it I packed it in my suitcase.
Next day ….just few hours for me to leave to the airport….the courier person came asking for me….
Surpriseeeeeee……….
….i got the first issue of the Needle N thread magazine i subscribed for…..it was very fast….
It has beautiful projects on cross stitch, crochet, hand embroidery and there is a project for kids too. It also has a hardanger tutorial with a beautiful hardanger project, in the teach yourself section…It is a beautiful magazine worth subscribing……
Coats India is not promoting/marketing this magazine in the right way. They have mentioned about it in the News and Events section. Please use Contact Us option to contact them. I got the info from Mitu….if you are interested i can forward it to your email…please let me know.
Thank you Mitu for the information.
Until next time….
Have a nice day…nima
