My first magazine article!!

1 

 I have been lucky enough to have some of my projects in magazines, but this would be my first written article explaining one of my customer quilts and the process I took in quilting it. So, needless to say I was super excited when this magazine showed up on my door step: Machine Quilting Unlimited - September/October 2012 issue, you can get your copy here.  I talked about Jan's quilt - Star Prancer, one of my favorite customer quilts to work on.

I am proud of this article and I am so grateful that I was asked to participate in this issue of Machine Quilting Unlimited. The best part of doing what I love is being able to share my process with all of you.

Thanks for introducing me to this magazine. I am often looking for something to help me better understand how to select and formulate machine quilting designs.

I knew sooner or later you would rise to the top! You have gorgeous quilting skills and I would just love to have a 10th of your talent! Someone has to pick up your quilting book...you do have a quilting design book coming out don't you?

Congratulations on your achievement. I'm glad you chose that quilt to talk about. I was able to get ahold of the shop owner and get a copy of the block of the month patterns. It took a while but it will be well worth it. Mine won't be as fabulous as yours but I will always remember where the inspiration came from.
