Good Gravy!

Several months ago I made this quilt from Minnick and Simpson's Bar Harbor line....



And this month it is featured in the lovely Homespun magazine.....



Scarily, the magazine also features a personal profile. It was very daunting getting a photo done that would be seen by thousands of people around the country if not the world. I had to call for the heavy artillery and crack out the war paint and the hair straighteners for the occasion. Don't be alarmed dear reader, I didn't let go of my true self - not that you can see them but I am wearing pajama bottoms in the photo!

A huge thanks need to go to Catherine and the team at Homespun for doing such a lovely job with the photo shoot of my quilt, converting my pattern for the magazine and the text in my profile. You are truly a pleasure to deal with and it is a real thrill to see my work in such and esteemed magazine.

And if not for my project you really should check the magazine out because this month it features a gorgeous project from Roslyn Mirrington of Bloom. You can see the project on her blog. Lovely, isn't it? I am pretty keen to make it. I am thinking of something in red and white and linen.

But for now I have to rejoin my daughter who is busy with her making box. An unattended 3 year old with glue is never a good idea. I thought you might enjoy a sample of her work....



What that girl can do with a feather!!

  2. Congrats!

    Oh I do love Bar Harbour! It's one of my most favourite ranges ever. When I finally unpack my sewing stuff my Bar Harbour quilt will be the first thing I finish.

  4. Shontelle, congratulations on your lovely quilt being chosen for Homespun magazine!

    I have given you the Liebster Blog Award. (I know, I didn't know what it was either when it was given to me.) I have written about it on my blog at www.caliquilter.blogspot.com.
