Yesterday I got the new copies of Quilting Arts magazine for April/May 2010. It has my newest article in it about reworking an old piece. This started, you may remember, as a series of blog posts last November about reworking my 2007 Journal quilt. The magazine editor saw my blog and asked if I would be interested in writing an article about what I had done. Here is the cover of the issue.
My article starts on two pages that show the original piece on the right-hand page and the reworked piece on the left-hand page.
On the third and fourth pages you can see the fun I had trying out possible new backgrounds.
This is now my third article for Quilting Arts—two for the regular magazine and one for the special edition "Quilt Scene" publication. I also had an article in American Quilter magazine last year. I have discovered that I love doing this! I hope I will be able to continue writing articles. It is a great challenge to try to explain a process or experience in a way that other people can use.
Way t go, Terry. Nice work. Well done!
