Hey FarmGirls, I got an email saying the Mary Englebreit's Home Companion magazine is no more. Boo-Hoo. However, they have hopes of relaunching someday with a new publisher and I hope they do. In the www.MaryEnglebreit.com email I received, was a free quilt pattern download. It is a moda pattern designed by Mary using her newest fabrics and it is really sweet. Check it out...
Thanks Karen, that is a cute pattern, would look good in 30's repro fabric too.

I recieved that e-mail today as well. I was very sad when I got the notice in the mail that it was ceasing publication. I have my fingers crossed that they will find a publisher for the mag!! This was my bible for creative inspiration. I have probably read every issue twenty times or more. I remember when my daughter would carefully cut out the paper dolls and saved them in a shoebox-her,and her friends, would play with them when they couldn't think of anything. I miss the magazine already and it hasn't been a month:( At least we still have MaryJanes Farms to treasure!

What a drag! I always buy that magazine...I'm so sorry it is being discontinued..probably another side effect of the economy..she has her hands in so many different creative ventures. I know she will do fine otherwise but I will surely miss the magazine.
