Since most of my time lately has been devoted to gardening, there isn't a whole lot to show on the quilting front.
There is one more Mini-Scape...

| I threw everything but the kitchen sink into this one. |
...and one little piece I call a cameo/medallion-style mini-quilt...
I grew up and live in the home of the Kentucky Derby, and this little scene really spoke to my heart. You can tell it was made without any computer programming or die cutting...just free-motion stitching on my sewing machine. Obviously I need more practice at satin-stitching an exact shape. I generally don't have to be concerned with that kind of precision in my landscapes. Oh, and one more thing...
Do you recognize the background?? Those are my little turtles from Catch a Wave! (Click on that title to see more about the quilt.) I'm so excited and grateful to have this quilt included in the Summer 2020 issue, and absolutely over-the-moon thrilled that it made the cover. Here's the full quilt...
What makes it even more thrilling for me is that Art Quilting Studio (Stampington Publications) is and always has been my favorite quilting magazine. Everything about it screams "quality." And the staff there is just wonderful to work with. Check out their submission guidelines here.
That's it until next time. Have a wonderful summer--or winter, as the case may be where you're located!

You must be over the moon that your wee turtles made the cover! Congratulations!! Now I wonder how I can get my hands on a copy here....hmmm. The last time I priced a 'magazine' from Stampington here it was approaching $30 and that was at least a couple of years ago. I love your latest mini-scapes and all the little details, particularly in the first one.
ReplyDeleteOh wow, that is very pricey! :( Thanks so much for the congrats. I still can't get over it.
