I recently finished inputting all my issues of CW&C into an Microsoft Excel database. If anyone is interested send me a PM and I'll send you a copy.
It took me a few weeks to get all the info in and I went through every page of each issue I own.
I've included:
Issue # -- Publication Date -- Pattern or Article Name -- Pg # -- Section -- Pattern Designer or Article Author -- Pattern Type -- # of Patterns -- Other Pattern Notes
I went from the most current backwards to issue 45 (#'s 182 - 45) I also included a few more I have from 1992 - 1995. I also have 5 of the 6 "Wood Ornaments" issues.
The file is 174KB so I can't really attach it here.
I would like to complete the database with issues I am missing so if someone can help - let me know.
The file is marked as final, but you can edit it if you wish. I really don't want anyone to post it anywhere without letting me know. I really don't need the credit for doing it, but I don't want anyone else to do so incorrectly.
The information is as accurate as I can ascertain by perusing each issue. There were some mistakes by CW&C in the exact location in the pattern pages for the patterns, but I've corrected based on the pattern description on the packet - not the magazine.
There may be typos as I spent sometimes hours typing this in and my eyes and fingers got screwy after a while! :)
I've left authors and pattern makers names as they appeared in each issue although some changed over time.
I didn't include articles which were reviews for items which were really adverts for the product.
I realized after getting all this done that I have only purchased one pattern which I actually had in one of the issues!
Also after typing and looking at all the patterns I believe the number on printed pattern in any form (fret, intarsia, ornament, clock, segmentation, etc.) was an Eagle. There was a time when it appeared an eagle appeared in each consecutive issue.
I also think Dan and Ray Wilckens had the longest run of pattern providers. I really didn't do an analysis of this, but I'd say Dirk Boelman was probably second. Sheila Landry and Robert J. Hlavacek, Sr. would be close to next.
As for who had the most - that is hard to tell, because a number of pattern makers did Christmas ornaments in groups of 20, 25, 30 or 50 for each year. If I were to guess I'd say Dirk Boelman had the most!
Anyway if you are interested in what I put together - let me know and I will send it to you.
Also I want to thank Cathy Skipper (cskipper) for her database she sent to me for review. It gave me the confidence to go and do my own. I thought it would be difficult to do, but with Microsoft Excel (which was on my computer) it went pretty easy.
I am also thankful I took typing when I was in High School - it helped tremendously!

Hi, Karl,
I had already done that with every issue that I own. From 1990 through about 1998 I have at least a few from about every year up to 2004. From 2004 to August 2014 I should have each issue till they went bankrupt.
Let me know any issues you need for an index and I can try to figure out how to copy that
data for you.
I labeled mine in Microsoft Works as:
Pattern Name, Pattern Description, Publication and Page Number, Pattern Designer, and Publication Date.
God Bless! Spirithorse

That's terrific - thanks for all the hard work. I would love a copy. Let me know if you need my email address again.

Is it to late to get a copy?
cw37d289@charter.net
TIA
-
Hey Chuck - never too late! I just sent it to you.
Karl
-
Thank you,anything I can do to help?
-
Well Chuck if you (or anyone else) has issues that I don't have - you can share the info from the issues so I can import it into the file. Just provide the information as I have in the file.
Some of the very early issues don't have very much scrolling and patterns were in the pages and were scaled down. Most of the projects it appears were woodworking.
It appears, however some of the immediate issues before what I have (lower than issue 45, years 1996 and before) had some scroll saw work in them which those who have the issues might want to have a record of. Some of these patterns were reprinted in later issues.
If anyone wants to help - great, but don't anyone go out of there way digging out the issues unless you are looking for something to do. ;D I have all of my issues in plastic magazine files which are readily available.
By the way if anyone finds some errors, let me know so I can correct it.
Karl

Wow I just realized I've been sending the wrong file out. The one I sent does not have all the issues I have in it. It just stops at issue 145.
I wish someone would have told me the error I was making. I will make it right for you all.
I am going back and resending the correct file to everyone above I have sent the file to. Give me a few hours on Saturday to finish this.
I'm sorry again I didn't send you what I said I was sending.
Karl
-
Okay I just got done sending out the new file. It has everything I have listed in the original post.
If anyone got missed, let me know.
Clem (Jim) is the only one I got a non delivery message back from.
So I'll still send out the file to anyone who is interested.
Karl

Hi Karl You sure seem to have put a lot of effort into your 'project' Congratulations.
Being 'new' to scrolling and being in UK not familiar with this publication but wonder if you have an index of contents to see if there is anything that might suit a 'beginner'
Norn norman.wilson1@hotmail.co.uk
-
Sure Norm I'll send it to you.
CW&W always had projects a beginner could do. If you find a project you could look for an issue on Ebay (etc.), but the magazine is no longer being produced.
You might consider looking at Scroll Saw Woodworking and Crafts as they have a good magazine with projects for beginners as well.

I am sorry for the confusion Karl. My email address is changed it is now: barryparr3@gmail.com

By the way Karl how many times in your life have you said:
"That's Karl with a K."
And how many times have you seen someone writing your name put a line behind the letter C they just wrote down and call it good! :o
Karl (Been there - done that)

I just sent them out.
Just to make note to anyone looking to use the database. It will only be helpful if you have back issues of Creative Woodworks or plan on buying back issues through Ebay. (Or know of someone who has them.) It does not include any photos so again consult Ebay or other online sources.
No one should share their copies of the patterns even though the magazine is gone. The patterns are copyrighted by the designers, not the magazine. A lot of the patterns can be found on the designer's website - just search their name on the internet. For those patterns where designers have no websites - look for pattern companies who may have them. Some of the patterns will probably just be "lost" to the general public unless someone buys the rights to publish them sometime in the future.
