Extra Extra Read All About It


DSC_0396

Eeek!  I have quite exciting news to share, in that one of my very own quilts is featured in the October/November issue of Quilt Magazine!  I may or may not have done a small happy dance when I got the mail the other day and there was an manilla envelope containing two copies of the magazine, but I am over the moon beyond excited!

This quilt may look familiar, as it was my Starburst Cross quilt I made for quilt market using Camille by Melissa White.  Not only was it super thrilling to have one of my quilts on display at market this year, but when the editor of Quilt Magazine contacted me shortly after market to let me know they wanted to print my quilt and pattern in their magazine, my jaw about hit the floor.

I'm still in mild shock that my face is in a magazine, but its super exciting.  Hawthorne Threads has put together a quilt kit which is available for purchase currently sold out back in stock. but there is a place to list your email to be notified when the kits become available again.  Be sure to check out the issue, available on newsstands now, there are lots of great quilts featured!
