Quiltmania Quilt Magazine…READ ALL ABOUT IT!

Have you picked up your copy of the Nov/Dec issue of Quiltmania Quilt Magazine yet? 

IMG_2623

Well when you do…quickly turn to PAGE 88…and see who’s in BLOGGER’s CORNER!!  It’s SWEET P!!  YIKES!! 

Now how did THAT happen?  Yup…I’m wondering the same thing?!

IMG_2634

Imagine my shock, surprise and yes, utter bewilderment when I received an email from Quiltmania Magazine asking if I would like to be featured in their BLOGGER’S CORNER!  You know the feeling…when someone pays you a compliment and you look behind you to see if they are REALLY talking to YOU!  I got THAT feeling!

IMG_2635

I can’t believe that that’s ME…being featured in QUILTMANIA MAGAZINE…my favourite all time magazine…and no, I’m not just saying that…it REALLY is my favourite magazine!!

Even Rylie, my fur-buddy and quilting partner got into the act!  There’s one in every crowd!

It’s been a few months now since I got my email from Quiltmania…and I have been eagerly awaiting my complimentary copy of the Nov/Dec magazine…#104th Issue… my new lucky number!  And how lucky to be in the December issue…my favourite quilting month!  Who doesn’t LOVE a good snowman quilt?  Who doesn’t love the colours red and green, with a splash of gold?  I DO!!  I DO!!

So hurry to a Newsstand near YOU…if you live in Canada then Chapters is the place for you!!  If you live in the States, then hurry to JoAnn’s or your favourite quilt shop…and then turn to PAGE 88 and then READ ALL ABOUT…MOI!  That’s French for…ME!!  ;o)

And if you don’t want to read about me…then you might be interested in this…

It’s Norma Whaley’s Christmas Tree Skirt!  Oh, man I LOVE this tree skirt…

…OR you may NOT want to cut the slit and hole and make it into a table topper instead!  Decisions…decisions…of the best kind!!

I would love to make a diamond quilt…and this one does double duty (can you see the double diamonds?)!  It was designed by Susan Stiff and it is a beauty…made from Collection for a Cause Community!  IMG_2630

Did you know that all the profits from the sale from any of the Collection Fabrics are donated to help others with medical issues?  I didn’t know this and I have bought tons of Collection Fabrics in the past!! Looks like I will be buying a lot more in the future!  How neat is that! I like to do anything I can to help charities…and if buying fabric will help, then it’s the least I can do!! :o)) That’s my story, and I’m sticking to it!

Come to mama!!

And some of you are probably wondering about the Cover Girl…she is a Lisa Bongean creation from  Primitive Gather, called Penny Rug…and she is magnificent!

IMG_2633

SEW there you have it!  Of course there are a lot more projects but I can’t show you everything!  You need to go and get your own copy so that you can READ ALL ABOUT IT!!

THANK YOU, QUILTMANIA…what an incredible honour!!  Imagine…I get to hang with Norma Whaley, Lisa Bongean, Laurie Simpson, Dawn Heese, Paula Barnes and Mary Ellen Robison for TWO WHOLE MONTHS!!  Oh my, I am such a name dropper…but I am loving it!

Pinch me!!  I’m in QUILTMANIA!! 

Have a wicked Wednesday and Happy Stitching!~P
