Holiday 2010
If you're looking for scrollsaw ornament patterns, then the special Holiday 2010 issue of Creative Woodworks & Crafts will surely fit the bill! And as if more than 110 ornament patterns is not enough, there are plenty of holiday-themed projects provided, as well. Add to your holiday decor with Sue Mey's Peace on Earth plaque, Sheila Landry's Angelic Tree Topper and Layered Reindeer Dish, Wayne Bosler's Cozy Holiday Corner set of a miniature tree and hearth, and beautiful boxes designed by Sue Mey and Janice Manuel. Dirk Boelman's and Joe Diveley's holiday-themed letter openers make beautiful gifts, and their bookmarks can easily be stack-cut to yield a large number of holiday party favors. The jewelry pieces designed by Deb Nicholson would also make lovely gifts. Intarsia enthusiasts will enjoy Janette Square's and Bruce Worthington's Chrismoose, plus the Kitten designed by Janette. The Fowlers' Our Lady of Guadalupe is a stunning image, and Paul Boer's Angels' Greeting word art captures the true spirit of Christmas. We couldn't have a holiday issue without featuring a jolly Santa, and the Fowlers have provided a great design! See what else is in this issue |

July 2010
"Innovation" seems to be the key word describing the bulk of projects in this July 2010 issue! From phenomenal coasters jointly designed by Bob Valle and John Polhemus to attractive pen holders by Roy King, you'll be kept very busy. Sheila Landry's See Creatures will put a smile on your face (they're actually eyeglass holders!), as will Deb Nicholson's "ferocious" Bear Door Topper. If you enjoy detailed, portrait-style cutting, be sure to check out Mike Williams' The Pride and Don Calhoun's African Cape Buffalo. Paul Boer's word art once again graces our pages, this time with a music-themed project. Sue Mey's Celtic Box and Lacework Frame, the Wilckens' Sunburst Mini Clock, and Wayne Bosler's Framed Silhouettes offer a nice selection of home-dec pieces. Wayne and Jacob Fowler "shoot for the moon" with their Eclipse pattern, and their pair of butterflies makes a beautiful set. Fans of intarsia will enjoy Bruce Worthington's and Janette Square's lovely Dragonfly on Cattails, as well as Carol and Homer Bishop's Elf Owl.
