I had a wonderfully surreal moment last week. I received a mysterious box in the mail…those are the best, don’t you think? I opened it up to discover my three copies of the magazine that three of my projects are in. The magazine is called 101 Patchwork projects and quilts and is distributed by interweave press. This is their first edition of this particular magazine though I think a second one might be out in the fall. And I believe the official release date is today!
This magazine is chock full of lovely projects. It’s definitely worth picking up…and I’m saying that because I’m in it. 😉 Although I doubt that I’m completely unbiased I’ll admit.
My hands were shaking as I skimmed through it just looking for my projects and the projects of friends of mine. I had seen my name in print in the table of contents the week before, but now I could see it in person!
Then I found each of my projects! First I saw my quilty chair recover.
Then I found my wall organizer!
I wasn’t completely in love with the photo that they took of this. I’m not really sure what they have stuffed in the pockets…some kind of random trim. Hmmm…how about a pattern or something? oh well. So I took a few pictures of my own because I hardly had time to do that before I shipped it off originally.
And then I found my color book!
I was almost more excited to see my friend’s projects that I knew were going to be in there!
Here are Kaelin’s fabulous projects:
and Krista’s!!
and Penny’s cool vase!
there are so many cute projects! I know that I’ll make this one for sure!
Isn’t it all too fun?!
You're even MORE famous than usual! Congratulations, that is completely wonderful. Those are some fantastic projects too. It's so nice to see your creativity and hard work combine into something others can enjoy as well 🙂
Awesome!!
Congratulations! This must be beyond grrrrrreat!
Very cool!!
Extremely too freakin' cool! I had not seen these projects of yours! W.O.W.! Great job!
I stinking love that vase too! And I'm so excited to have the pattern for your wall organizer now – I'm gonna make one for my new sewing room and put lovely things in it instead of weird fuzzy trim and oil paints, lol!
Contests….it must feel wonderful!
Aw, thanks for posting my stuff too Angela. And even bigger thanks for encouraging me to submit things. Like Kaelin I'm also excited to try your wall organizer– and her pouch!
