Then, from a simple mail-order ad in a needlecraft magazine, ANNIE’S ATTIC® was born. From the kitchen table, she, her family and friends, began to fill the thousands of orders that arrived day after day. After the original advertisement came another, and another, and another. Then a catalog. Then a magazine called Annie's Quick & Easy Pattern Club, followed by another entitled Annie’s Crochet Newsletter. Today, ANNIE'S ATTIC® involves many thousands of people, all dedicated to the art of sharing buys designs from people from all over the world, she still creates and publishes many of her own the magazines. ochet, And although Annie atterns in the catalog and in ANNIE’S ATTIG® is more than a needlecraft company nestled in the small southern town of Big Sandy, Texas.
