20th Cotton friend

The 20th Cotton Friend is already out. Yukiko Naruse also made a doll for the special edition….the laciest ever….-.- I prefer her handmade zakkas to the famous dolls.

Another 2 books were also published for celebrating this special edition. One is ステッチBOOK(Stitch Book) and another one is ソーイングBOOK(Sewing Book). I especially like the “conventional” flowery embroidery pincushion and the antique woodbox on the cover of “Stitch BOOK”….coz the flower is PURPLE! ^^

komagomayaこま けいこ also has a new book coming out this month too. It’s her 3rd(or 4th?) book. The book may be about applying stamps onto cloth. Her works are quite inpiring. Maybe my next project should be rubber stamp carving. ^^
