The publishers of Fine Woodworking and Fine Home-building
(see reviews) have come out with another beautiful magazine, Threads. With a style and look all its own, Threads is not just another pretty face. It is filled with interesting, well-written articles that cover the gamut of the fiber arts field. It has articles about and by leading textile artists as well as pieces on freestyle embroidery, Gobelins-style tapestry, weft twining, hand-quilting, knitting, dyeing, felting, sewing hand-wovens, and on and on. My particular interests are in embroidery and weaving, but I find that every time an issue of Threads arrives, I read it cover to cover. The piece de resistance is the back cover, which is like a great dessert after a wonderful meal.
