I guess it's safe to announce my good news now! Though I don't believe it has hit the newsstands yet, I did get my complimentary copies in the mail this week, and the editor, Pokey Bolton, has posted this on her blog.... YAHOO! My quilt, Vertigo, is on the cover! And even more pleasing, the colors are right!! My quilts are sometimes so bright that prints of them look bad, the colors come out wrong. But when I saw this one, I knew they got it right! I even held it up to my quilt and BINGO! It was right on! Fantastic! Good job Quilting Arts!
Also, I was checking in on some of my favorites, and Ann Flaherty had this youtube on her blog this morning. I absolutely love it. I love what it says about making art. I was surprised at the number of universal themes that artists ask themselves that were so true for me. It was kind of like when you really connect with a song, it rings true for you. That's how this video affected me, and it's all about passing along the inspiration. Enjoy!

I saw this quilt at two shows. It is so delightful. I love the birds and the beautiful colors you used. Just the whimsy of it.

You're a cover girl! How cool is that. Loved your article, you write like you talk. Every time I think about our time at Festival in Houston, a large smile forms. What a hoot! Great memories to last till next year. You make everything FUN!

Nice work! Great design and colors.
Hey, Congratulations to you Kathy!!
What a great surprise to see your quilt on the cover, I saw it at the AAQG show and the stitching you did on it is beautiful and it has inspired me to challenge myself when stitching my pieces. Way to go Austin girl!!!
Loved your Birds and wonder if I can have your permission to use the design on my project. They would be different colors and probably hand appliqued so not a total copy cat. Congratulations! and Keep having fun doing your work!
