That is a late-night screen shot just before my phone died. It's a book that's made my Janine Vangool, editor and creator of UPPERCASE magazine. She is creating a series of inspirational encyclopedias. Stitch*illo is the third book. The first two are 'Feedsacks' and 'Botanica'. The subtitle of this one is 'Every Stitch Tells a Story' and lookie! I was invited in!

... in with a group of incredible embroidery artists from around the planet! Wow. UPPERCASE magazine has been around as long as I've been blogging, and is entirely self-published and ads-free. You know what happens when you pull all the ads out of a magazine? Well, there's not much content left. Uppercase is chalk-full.
The book set is equally gorgeous. The set is available for order (this one edition is still in pre-order phase). They come with a few changeable dust jackets as well, loaded with colour and patterns.
And so image me with a smile ear-to-ear when all of a sudden someone shows me THIS!
okay, NOW!
HEAVENS TO MURGATROYD ! That's MY art! Wow.
I realize I don't have much to say that's sounds remotely intelligent in this post, but my mind has been blown. ; ) This is fabulous. If you are on IG, you can also check out some production shots of this book at uppercase. : ) To learn more, see the whole set, or pre-order, you can go to their website here UPPERCASEmagazine.com
Have a great day!

Fantastic Monika, well done you. And it's not a phrase I have heard for many a year!!!! xx
This is so COOL!! It's gorgeous! Funny...I haven't heard that phrase for a long time either. And I was impressed that you knew how to spell it! haha
Hi Monika! I don't know if I should hug you or slug you...HA! I just had to pre-order the book!! There goes my craft budget already. I hadn't even heard of the magazine or books, so thank you for introducing me to yet another classy, fantastic venue for stitching inspiration (besides your blog!). Thanks for sharing...big hugs!! (Boy, I better get back to work; their site has too many temptations for me to tarry on...all those books and magazines....)
Kudos to a hard working mother and artist extrordinaire !
