I am pretty sure my friends are tired of hearing about this, but for me this is pretty darned awesome. I have two articles in the Winter 2012 issue of Art Quilting Studio. I received my copy today. It will hit the newsstands December 1. One article is about how I turn my art cloth into art quilts. I also have a tutorial on discharging.
The other article is about my Aspen Quilts.
In the back of the magazine is section titled Patchwork where several art quilts are featured. I have two pages there.
The issue is large and packed with wonderful articles, many of them by friends so I feel that I am in such good company — Connie Rose, Katherine Sands, Rayna Gilman, Kathie Briggs, Arlee Barr, Ellen Lindner, Dominie Nash, Natalya Aikens, Roxanne Lessa, Laurie Brainerd, Gloria Hansen, Clairan Ferrono and others I don’t know that well. Ricë Freeman-Zachery has two articles featuring Sandra Meech and Jenny Hearn.
This morning, I had my hips x-rayed and am waiting to hear what it shows. Then, Mr C and I got the Twelve by Twelve Colorplay quilts packed up and sent them on their way to Brenda Smith in Australia.
I still had time to work on the organ quilt. I finished the background quilting and started working on the embellishments. Here is a section of the wood filigree that will be fused in place and stitched.
And, here is today’s 3 x 3.
Zowie! I just picked up my mail last night and was thrilled to see your articles as I flipped through the magazine. I have to say your Aspen stopped me cold — beautiful. Haven’t even read my own article but after I get my pies baked today I will sit down and treat myself to a good read of the whole magazine.
Congrats on having so much editorial space in the issue – it is really a beautiful one.
Congratulations!!
Not tired here either — just proud and happy for all your good press. 🙂
Congratulations Gerrie, can’t wait to read the articles
I’m very happy for you Gerrie! What a lot of awesome, and well deserved, coverage.
Congrats, Gerrie… Can’t wait to see the issue!
My goodness! Two! GO, Gerrie!! I look forward to getting a copy. Best of luck on the x-rays.
Congratulations, Gerrie! That must be a wonderful feeling – to have that magazine in your hands. Enjoy every second of this recognition of your work, and let it fuel and encourage you in all your work to come. I hope to be able to get my hands on a copy of the magazine when it comes out.
Rock on Gerrie!
I am not tired of you talking about your articles! I am so dang excited for you and the rest of the line up. I always enjoy the magazine, but this issue, as soon as I saw the table of contents on the pre-order form made me antsy to have it in my hands. The fact that I “know” so many of the authors is double fun. Bask in the limelight!!! You have earned it. I hope your exrays show nothing serious and that you are out dancing soon. 🙂
