Published ~ Art Quilting Studio Magazine

Oh my.  It may not be “really big news” in the large scheme of life events, but it is pretty darn cool for me!  To find my own art in a national magazine I’ve read and admired for many years feels pretty surreal to me: it’s the Summer 2016 Issue of Art Quilting Studio!

I’m truly honored and humbled to be published in such a wonderful, creative magazine.  I was approached to submit an article nearly seven months ago, and the waiting has seemed interminably long! 🙂

The article is about the collaging and creation of “Shalom ~ A Peaceful Girl” ~ a floral collage pattern and wall quilt I created from a sketch of my beautiful daughter-in-law, Monica.  A weeks worth of writing, re-writing, and sharing tips & technique is contained in those four little ol’ pages! I hope you’ll take a closer look… the magazine will be out on June 1st!

{The Shalom Collage pattern is available in my shop, here on the website and on Etsy, too}

 I am truly and humbly thankful to my dear friends & sisters, Toni, Karen, Annie, Annette, and Lisa who encouraged me to design, and create original collage works. They kindly offered me advice insights, support and much-needed encouragement to “be strong and courageous!”
