Stampington & Company is the publisher behind the visually stunning magazines Somerset Studio, Somerset Memories, Art Quilting Studio, Green Craft and more. Even though I have a job that allows me to look at gorgeous project images all day, I am still thrilled every time a new magazine from Stampington & Company comes across my desk. It always leaves me feeling inspired. Usually, I have to guard the magazines with my life because eager coworkers start hovering to get a peak at the new issue.
Because Stampington & Company knows our blog readers are fabulous, talented and ready to be inspired, they have generously donated BLOG CANDY!! We have 2 prize packs to give away. They each contain a 2010 Somerset Studio Calendar
A copy of the premier issue of Art Quilting Studio

I just bought the recent issue of Where Women Create and really enjoyed the quotes the artists love.I was really thrilled with Art Quilting Studio and can't wait for the next issue.
I love this company! Where Women Create is fantastic and I like to shop on the Stampington website, too.
My favorite Somerset magazine is Take Ten. There are so many fabulous ideas for cards. I am not even a card-maker, but like to use the ideas as inspiration for my textile and mixed media artist trading cards.
I looove the Art Quilting Studio magazine, I've looked at it at least a hundred times! I would love to have an extra copy to share with a friend as I don't let my copy out of my sight!
I have only seen one of their publications and it was so amazing I bought two more and gave them right away!
Oh wow. I've never even seen these before! They look awesome!!
I have never seen these magazines before, they look very interesting and informative.
Ohh…that’s a tough question—definitely a tie between Artful Blogging and Art Journal!! But seriously…I love them all. Each are just luscious and dripping in pure Creative Juiciness!!! The artists you feature inspire me and motivate me to be creative everyday!!
Peace & Love.
Right now, my favorite pub from Stampington & Company is Somerset Memories because I have inherited 3 boxes of very old family photos. I really want to give these photos the attention they deserve while taking care of them properly. I also need help learn to use the digital image programs to work with these photos. Somerset Memories is full of great ideas for keeping our family memories fresh and artistic.
Thanks for sharing ,

I love these magazines.
Artful Blogging, hands down. Picking up a copy of AB in early 2008 is what inspired me to reconnect with my creative side.

I LOVE them all, so to pick just one…….its hard.
The one I bought last month was the ART QUILTING one, so I’ll say that one for now….but really I LOVE THEM all & buy when I have extra monies!!!
Awesome! I love these magazines!
Wow, they have alot of good magazines full of eye candy that just inspires me and satisfies my visual appetite. The artists that they feature take their art to the next level, out of this world, its awesome. Somerset Studio is a favorite as welll as Somerset Memories. Dying to check out that Green Craft magazine. Thanks and have a SWEET day!!
I love Belle Armoire Jewelry and can't wait to see each new issue for ideas and inspiration in my own work.
Don’t need to be in the running but share your love of the mags!
I enjoy Somerset Studio it has inspired many a project! Can’t wait to go look for the others.
Oh wow!! I am up for this!! I love Stampington Company, I subscribe to their newsletter and buy the magazines when I can find them!! But my favorite is Somerset Studio…. I use them for inspiration… often for color combinations.

I am not familiar with their products, but I would love to be inspired by them!
It's hard to say which is my favorite but I love Belle Armoire!
It's hard to say which is my favorite but I love Belle Armoire!
magazine of choice is ‘belle armoire’
love anything dealing with art to wear
and fabric design…
pick me!
Definitely Belle Armoire. My sister turned me on to it. Love the combinations of arts to create wearables, very inspriring.
I have never heard of these magazines, which really surprises me, as I subscribe to 17 quilt/sewing related magazines (plus I buy the ones I don’t subscribe to!). Green Craft sounds interesting, although I swore I was never going to jump on the “green” bandwagon. It’s just the marketing of the term “green” that’s getting to me. But I just try to remind myself that the idea behind it is what really matters. I actually had to try out the Quilter’s Dream batting that’s made from recycled plastic bottles! I’m a cotton-batting-only person, but this batting was so incredibly soft that I couldn’t resist at least trying it. I’m sure hand quilters would love it! Anyway, I need to find out more about these magazines…I hate to think I’m missing out on something!
I like how Stampington continually creates new magazines. My tastes evolve over the years and so do their offerings. Current favorites include Where Women Create, Sew Somerset, and Art Quilting Studio. I’m looking forward to what they come up with next!
Art quilt studio is my favourite and it has pushed me to think outside the box.
Art Journaling is the BEST magazine Stampington have ever produced, IMHO!
well I do not know the magazines because they are not availeble in my country, For that reason I would loooooove to enter the give away!
I am a subscriber to your blog news in bloglines.
apronology gave me a thrill. Loved all the ideas. I always look at all the Stampington magazines.
I am so interested in the art quilting now and combining the old patchwork with the new art. So my favorite is the Art Quilt Studio. I am always looking how to recycle, but I have not seen the Green Magazine, it would be interesting to read. Thanks
All of your Quilting magazines have inspired me. The different designs inspire me to try new things here and there. Thanks for the chance
My recent favorite is Somerset Studio Gallery. I love paper dolls and the issue inspired me to create my baby’s paper doll for a layout
My favorite is Somerset Studio. I never fail to be inspired and in awe of all the talented artists that they feature. When feeling like my creating mojo is gone I just look through one of their magazines and I am ready to go again!
They are all pretty special but Somerset Studio and Somerset Memories are favorites of mine. The inspiration just bubbles off the pages.
Thanks for the chance.
I haven’t seen these magazines in my local newsagent here in Australia. I would love to win one of them. The calender looks enticing. Happy days.
Wow… only one? If I had to choose… I would have to say green crafts. I just started saving all my trash, and was amazed at how much you can do with it! (Honestly, I don’t have the most recent issue of green crafts…… =)
Thanks CT!
Somerset…and Take Ten…..Somerset gives me the BEST ideas…so I can get an idea, start it and take off from their on my own !! Thanks!
My favorite publication is Apron•logy. I have so many vintage fabrcis & handkerchiefs that I used with these projects so this was a great issue for me. It’s also inspired me to be more creative with my sewing and I made some aprons that were quite challenging for me. I also love Green Crafts & haven’t seen this issue yet, though it looks great.
I’ve never seen these…I’m particularly interested in the Green Craft one. I’ve got college students studying in the Environmental field. Thanks for considering me.
Jenny Doh, editor of Art Quilting Studio, just asked me to write an article based on a piece I was working on and blogged about. The first issue was beautiful and I hope it will get even better and more focused on art quilts, without the cutesy stuff. All their magazines are really high quality but this one is a beauty!
Belle Armoire, inspirational for creating clothing for my new daughter.
