Exciting News with a GIVEAWAY!
I have some super exciting news to share...
Yep, this happened! I'm in Quilty Magazine! Not once, but twice! Eek! I submitted two quilt designs around Christmastime last year (yes, it takes that long) and received my copy of the magazine in the mail last week! I actually picked up the mail from the post office in our old city and noticed the unusual package from an unknown sender. So at a stop light, I opened it up and let out a huge squeal! The girls started squealing, too, and then the light turned green and we were on the freeway for 20 minutes. That was the longest 20 minutes, ever! Please be sure to pick up a copy of the magazine next time you are at JoAnn's, Hobby Lobby, or Barnes and Noble (just to name a few)! They should start hitting the newsstands any day now!
And to celebrate my first publication and the relishes back at school, I want to giveaway a copy of the magazine to one of my awesome readers! GIVEAWAY CLOSED!All you have to do is leave a comment telling me what your favorite quilting magazine is (and no, it doesn't have to be Quilty;). For a second entry, like me on Instagram. Congrats to Vicki H.! I sent you an email :)
I've been sharing lots of my behind-the-scene pictures on IG lately and would love to have you visit me there as well. I treasure blogging and the connections I make through my stories and pictures with you guys, but sometimes the pictures of my everyday sewing life, like little relish sticking 20 sewing pins in my Juki, are worth an instant share. If you decide to follow me there or already do, leave me a comment for a second entry.
I'll pick a winner Friday!!

EEEK! That's SO exciting!!! Congrats to you! I will have to check it out for sure - and Quilty just happens to be my VERY fav magazine.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on being published, twice! Don't have a favorite quilt magazine. 24Tangent@gmail.com
ReplyDeleteI don't have a favorite quilt magazine because I never buy them, although I would love to. Gotta save some $ somewhere.

Congrats to you! I don't really have a favorite magazine but occasionally peek through old issues of a friend.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations!!! It's so exciting seeing your name in print! My fave quilting mag is Stitch by Interweave... It is not solely a quilting magazine and I like that it shares both quilting and sewing projects....
ReplyDeleteI don't often buy magazines, because I learn so much online! I might buy this one, though. I really like your designs.
ReplyDeleteI am a new follower on Instagram.
ReplyDeleteCongrats! I actually love Quilty but haven't subscribed yet :)
ReplyDeleteWould love to have this magazine! I do love Quilty...but get McCall's Quick Quilts thru subscription. :)
ReplyDeleteHow exciting!! I need to get a copy!!
ReplyDeleteI am a Quiltmaker fan. It's sort of my style but Jenny's new magazine sure is fun.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations!! My current favorite magazine is Love Patchwork and Quilting, but I'm also a fan of Quilty. Looking forward to seeing your work in the new issue!

ReplyDeleteCongratulations on being published. It is the most exciting feeling. I'll never forget when I received notification the first time I was published in Quiltmaker's 100 Blocks Vol. 8. It's still as exciting the 2nd and 3rd time too!

ReplyDeleteAnd of COURSE I follow you on Instagram!!
ReplyDeleteWoot woot! Sooo exciting to be published - your work is gorgeous. I especially love your quilt, it is right 'up my alley' as far as colour/fabric goes. My fave magazine (and the only one I ever buy) is QUILTY!!!

ReplyDeleteSo happy for you! That is just sooo exciting! Love your pillow and your quilt :) I read Fons & Porter's Love of Quilting but learned how to quilt watching quilty episodes with Mary Fons :) Kathi
ReplyDeleteCongratulations, can hardly wait to check out your projects. What an honor. Thanks for the chance to win the Quilty magazine
ReplyDeleteI seem to find the most quilts I like in Quiltmaker magazine. I haven't gotten an issue of Quilty yet, but your post makes me think I should!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations Melissa!! Both projects are just beautiful! Because I work with wool alot my favorite magazine to follow is Primitive Quilts and Projects. I do love your modern look projects though (and so would my granddaughters)... ;) Take care!
ReplyDeleteI have to confess that I am a quilt magazine junkie....I subscribe to 3 but buy many more. WIll be sure to look for your projects. Thanks for the chance to win.

ReplyDeleteI like I love Patchwork and whatever else is on the WHSmith shelf!! Well done :)
ReplyDeletehow good to have have quilt published but no you have 2 congratulations, I think maybe it is time for a book of your designs. I only have one quilt magazine on subscription and that is Popular patchwork which is a British one but do pick up ones in the shops sometimes.
