My copies of Quiltmaker just arrived!! I am so thrilled!
It is very fun to open up a magazine and see your quilt inside. They did such a terrific job with the photography and the writing. How fun it was to work with them on this project! I really hope I can do more with them in the future, this venture was pure pleasure and well worth waiting for!
They have included directions for my Blue Ridge Beauty quilt as well as a little article on "leaders/enders". I hope that scrap quilters everywhere will look at their stashes a bit differently and find a way to be more productive at the same time!
What a great thing to come the week of Thanksgiving. I know I have so much to be thankful for. I'm really overwhelmed when I look at how things have happened in the past year. Next year this time...as I look back...I wonder what I'll see!
We are thinking of heading up to the Winston-Salem area on Friday and spending the long weekend up there getting a feel for the area. I don't know if it will be a good time to try to connect with realtors, but we have printed out some properties we'd like to see and can use the tom-tom to do a few drive-by sightings to see if it is something worth checking back later on or not. I think it will be a good weekend to "get out of dodge" even with all the holiday travelers. I just need to get a feel for where I'll be, you know?
I've spotted a listing for a 1900's farm house on 6 acres, with barn and shed. The house has 2545 sq ft....Might not have a basement for a quilting studio, but with 6 acres I'm sure I could build the studio I want :c)Wouldn't that be something? I can't wait to see inside of it!
It says it is restored, 3 bedroom and 2 bath and has heated tile and many extras.....hmmmmmmm!
This farmhouse looks very promising, congrats on your article; bravo!
ReplyDeleteDelurking to say congratulations on the article! And that's a very nice looking farmhouse. Good luck house hunting.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on your article Bonnie! That farmhouse looks great.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on the article!
ReplyDeleteI'm a sucker for red houses so I'd sure look at that farmhouse. :) Our last 2 houses were red. This one is brick and I'm trying to figure out how to make it redder. LOL
How wonderful to see your name up there in lights Bonnie! You certainly deserve it, your work is entirely wonderful. I'm keeping my eyes peeled for that magazine for sure.
ReplyDeleteThat is one cute looking house, I would definitely want to see inside. I feel very positive about your move, good things are coming hon.
*hugs*

Congratulations and hugs on being published! :) This is really awesome news.
ReplyDeleteThe farmhouse looks lovely! I love the history of a home, and this one probably has quite a bit.
Happy Thanksgiving!

OOOhhh Congratulations!!!! and the house is looking awesome :-)))
ReplyDeleteCongrats -- now I have to go to the bookstore -- darn! That farmhouse looks promising -- and hey, why build if you could convert the barn?
ReplyDeleteoh wow, I love it. Be sure to ask about insulation and wiring though and metal pipes versus PCP. Old metal pipes can rust terribly. Also find out what gallons per minute are on the well system. Good luck!
ReplyDeleteWoohoo, congrats on the article! very excited for you. 6 acres? better get a herd of goats to take care of all the grass!
ReplyDeleteCongrats!! on the article.
ReplyDeleteDrive safely! and have fun!
good luck!
CONGRATULATIONS BONNIE!!! Woohoo for you!!! I'm going to town today...and will have to see if I can find a copy!
ReplyDeleteLovely little setting there. Can't you just see a couple of hens and maybe a rooster roaming the grounds? Good luck with your little trek to that area.
Happy Thanksgiving!!!
Congratulations on the article and quilt/pattern in the magazine, Bonnie.
ReplyDeleteThat house may not have a basement but that rear wing looks promising. Hmm???
Oh wonderful article and pictures in the mag! And that farm house looks nice from the outside!!! Cool!
ReplyDeleteYAY BONNIE!!!! I also love the red farmhouse too! You and your family are in my prayers that you find the BEST house for your need.
ReplyDeleteCongrats Bonnie! I can't wait to go out and get the magazine.
ReplyDeleteHouse looks adorable
Wonderful! I love the fact you're getting published. But that means we have to share you with the rest of the quilt world. :D We'll be able to say, "We knew her when..." I clicked to enlarge and got to read the L&E article, cool!
ReplyDeleteI'll have to pick up that mag at JoAnns!
ReplyDeleteCongrats on the magazine article. Can't wait to get a copy.
ReplyDeleteDo LOTS of checking on the farm house. Having lived in one for 40+ years....they have their good and bad points. Mine was just beyond repair.
Have a good Thanksgiving!
What fun to be in a magazine! I will be anxiously awaiting the arrival of MY copy! That farmhouse is ADORABLE. I know it's stressful, but it's a bit fun to be you right now too, isn't it????
ReplyDeleteHave a perfectly fabulous Thanksgiving!
Bonnie that is so exciting. Congratulations!!! I'm going to look for that magazine the next time I go out.
ReplyDeleteThe farm house looks promising. I love old houses. Good luck and take pictures to share. ;c)
Congrats on the book, will get one as soon as I can find it!
ReplyDeleteLove the farmhouse also, I just know you will love W-S.
One more odd name, in Alabama there is a town named TOAD SUCK, I thought that was a little gross!
Have a Happy Thanksgiving, since you will be in W-S come on by, dinner is at 2pm.
Wooooohoooooo. I can't wait to get my copy. It will feel so personal now. :-)

Congratulations Bonnie! I doubt the magazine will be up here in Canada yet...always takes awhile, but I'll be sure to look for it. It looks like they did a really nice layout.
ReplyDeleteI didn't realize that this was the quilt that would be in the magazine..didn't realize that was the name of it :-). That is the quilt I made for my nephew for his wedding. I didn't really want to part with mine, so I'm busy making another one...yesterday I dropped a huge stack of blue and white 2" squares all over my sewing room LOL.

Take that one, take that one!! It's a beaut. I love it when somebody on the blogs is house hunting so I can enjoy it vicariously. So exciting about your magazine feature, Bonnie!
ReplyDeleteI'm so glad you are in print Bonnie - you certainly deserve to be! That farmhouse looks wonderful. I wish you well in your househunting.
