Spring is here!

Well the spring issue of several magazines anyway. The spring issue of Quilter's Connection arrived in my mailbox on Friday.

In November, Editor/Publisher, Heather McArthur asked readers to share tips on "going green" in the sewing room for an article she was preparing.
I sent a couple of tips along and to my delight, not only were they used in the article but they are accompanied by a couple of photos as well.

Doesn't this rubber-stamped/beaded inchie look terrific adorning the corner of the page? There is a photo showing a leaf I created using painted dryer sheets as well as a collection of inchies at the bottom of the page.

It is such an enormous kick to see a photo of something you have created in print, especially in one of these slick, glossy magazines.

I gathered up the publications that have shown my work.........since the summer 2008, something of mine has appeared in each of these.
I can hardly believe it!
So don't be afraid to put your work "out there" you just never know where it may end up.

Congratulations!
I cannot imagine doing an *inchie* without sewing a digit to it, but more power to those who can!

How fun! The first time a quilt of mine was published was in a German Patchwork magazine....I was new in country and having come fresh from working in a stateside quilt shop helped me become "the popular" one for awhile. I had everything that nobody had seen yet to include a civil war quilt. How's the girls?!!

This is a great collection!
I think my tip (no pic's tho)should be in there as well but I am having trouble finding the magazine.

Ain't (creative) freedom wonderful!

Wow, congratulations! That must feel good! Your little inchie on the corner of the page is just right for that article....well, all the photos of your work are great. Good job!

t's wonderful - it must give you a real lift - we have a fairly solitary persuit and it must be wonderful to connect in this way with the outside world!!
