Look what arrived in a box on my doorstep last week - the latest about-to-be-released issue of Quilters Newsletter with a feature article by Linda Hungerford on how Australian quilters are using stitchery. It’s beautifully written, warm, and informative (and I’d be saying that even if she weren’t a quilting ‘bestie’).
Because the QNM folks were returning this little stitchery creation to me after photographing it for Linda’s article. Stifled excitement here!
Along with seven other Australian stitchers – Julie Donovan, Cheryl Goss, Gail Pan, Jan Quigley, Jenny Reynolds, Carol Richardson and Vicki Tucek – Linda interviewed me for her article when she was out here last November.
In addition we were all invited to design and submit a mini-quilt showcasing our work, and Gail’s sweet Little House quilt was chosen to be written up as a project.
I was certainly in distinguished company with these talented gals, and the whole exercise has been a very exciting one for me. Gosh, I now have a creation of mine photographed in QNM not once, but twice (one’s in the table of contents).
Let’s not mention that said photos are a mere 5cm across. 
Your cupcake stitchery is charming, just like you. And I've been gazing at your little round table-topper for way longer than ten seconds! Gosh you've gotten at least a whole minute of fame just from me alone!
ReplyDeleteIt's good to know you received your piece back safely from Colorado, and a copy of the magazine too. How special it was to interview each of you... every one a warm, Australia lady and quilter/stitcher.
You have so much talent, Di. I'm proud to know you.
Congrats, Di! Your stitchery is beautiful - just like all the work you do. :)
ReplyDeleteWow, Di! World famous Di now! Congratulations!
ReplyDeleteTwo photos and still you reckon that's only worth 10 seconds?? Welllll I can't wait to see the other 14min 50secs LOL
