• Pros: I LOVE that patterns are included in each issue.
• Cons: I haven't seen ONE item that I'd like to make.

I don't want to insult Create & Decorate magazine. It is written very well. It has great photos, articles and step-by-step instructions. Best of all, every issue includes patterns. I save these patterns and use them for other crafts too. I can imagine these crafts being sold at a rural or historical location that tourists visit... a country store with a squeaky wooden floor. These items would be appealing in that setting. But in my home, these crafts would be completely out of place. It would look like clutter. These would be the 1st items to be thrown out when spring cleaning. I just wish it had more variety of styles.

• Pros: Variety of projects
• Cons: none!

I have subscribed to Create & Decorate since it's inception, and have rarely been disappointed in an issue. I'm a decorative painting and fabric artist, and I receive much inspiration from the magazine. Needlecraft, papercraft, painting, sewing, quilting, rug-hooking and needlepunch are some of the crafts included. Designers start to become your friends as you look for their new design in each issue. Some of the new designers are my friends, as it is easy to submit one of your own projects for publication. All in all, I heartily recommend this magazine to anyone interested in any handwork!
