Quiltmania Bloggers Corner

Back in July I was asked if I'd like to submit some information to Quiltmania to be in the Bloggers Corner of the American version.  I was honored and said YES!  

Right before heading out to France, or maybe while I was away, Paulette, sent me an email saying she had seen it. I was so excited! 

It took another few weeks for me to find the online version and then I finally ordered the magazine so I could have it in my hands! I couldn't be more thrilled!!

My hubby was feeling a little slighted when he saw I had a photo of Porter, but not him! LOL

For those who have seen this and commented, thank you for your kind words. I'm humbled!

Have a wonderful week!

Magazines Revisited...Again!

Maybe this is the topic that won't go away....

We have at least the attention of one magazine and I appreciated Jeni's comments so much that I told her I was publishing it on my blog.

Hello!
I'm Jenifer, the Creative Director of Primitive Quilts and Projects magazine, I was sent to this blog post by a nice lady at the NQA quilt show today! I just read each and every comment to my sister/partner, Gretchen, the Advertising and Circulation director, out loud! And after drinking some much needed water (haha)I wanted to post a comment to you! First of all, thank you to the many people who had such nice things to say about our publication. Secondly, we are all quilters just like you, and you have touched on issues close to our hearts. We would love to have more submissions of projects to our magazine, and it is as easy as sending us an email of a quilt or sketch of a project that is unpublished. Send them to homespunmedia@aol.com and we will consider them! Most of our projects have been primitive, but at least in every issue there has been a traditional or reproduction quilt, so we are open to that as well, for possible future publications. We will be sure to keep all of your comments in our thoughts as we plan our upcoming issues! Thank you Lori, for opening up this discussion, it is very helpful for our "new" magazine!
Jenifer, Gretchen, and Judy (even though she isn't with us here at the show!)
 

Any other magazine editors dare to jump in on this conversation?

Just had to have a photo and I thought this was a pretty unique magazine cover!

British Patchwork & Quilting

Sue at I Sew Quilts UK was kind enough to send me the August issue of British Patchwork & Quilting. I was so tickled when she told me she saw my blog featured as "August Blog of the Month"

It also mentions Vicki & Jan's blog What A Load a Scrap and Kathie's Inspired by Antique Quilts.


Click on the photo to enlarge, then you can click again to actually read it. Can you believe my son just showed me that trick. I guess I'm a slow learner. ;)


Next up is a few wonderful backings on old quilts that I saw at the Sisters show. I was surprised to see so many beautiful fabrics on the back, especially since fabric wasn't readily available to most quilters like it is today.

This pink one is my favorite.
