On the cover of a Magazine

I am thrilled to be in yet another Quiltmania publication.
This time it is the Special children's magazine.....for kids decor....not for them to make.
My quilt is on the cover....the yellow quilt!

It's called "She lingers in the garden".  It is a bright and cheerful quilt....but any fabric choice would be nice.
 
There are lots of diagrams and full instructions with patterns.


I love how they show the contents....by image only....lol
There are lots of great projects...28 in all.
I'm sure this will be in Barnes and Noble soon.
 
It's funny...but after all this time....I still feel weird yet excited to see my name in print.
I have always loved my last name....my hubby has a good name. 
My maiden name of Cowan was alright...just some confusion on how to say it.  My father's side comes right from Scotland.  My mom occasionally said she would have him deported if she got mad enough....sooo crazy!
There is no doubt how to say the name Hudson.

Gotta show you a sneak peak of what is soon to be a pattern...Sweet kitty cat ...can't wait.
 
I am also working on all kinds of Halloween designs....I am super excited about them.
They are turning out soooo cool!
 
I am always doing that which I cannot do, in order that I may learn how to do it.

Spring Special Quiltmania

I just love how everything is blooming outside...I have a Lilac bush next to my studio door (it just showed up as a seedling a few years ago!) and the smell is to die for!
Now my nose goes a little crazy from allergies...but I don't care...I love this weather!
Above is the newest magazine that I have a project in:
Spring special Quiltmania....available at Barnes and Noble.

This is the back cover....my project is the hoops saying...Home sweet home!

This is a French publication....the magazines are very high quality....good projects, nice thick paper, great photos!

This project is sooooo bright and cheerful....free motion sewing.....it is addicting!

Here is my ad...that I was proud to design myself....the more you learn on the computer the better I think. 
 Although I wanted to kill my computer about a month ago!
I feel like mine was alive with a nasty disposition...lol.
Can you smell my lilacs now?

Simply Vintage

Yeah!  So Happy to be in the latest Simply Vintage magazine by Quiltmania!  I have two projects in this one....several more projects coming up in other issues.  This is a French publication...printed in English of course.  All the projects are just beautiful...quality paper....tons of diagrams...a luxury magazine!  I'm sure it will be in Barnes and Noble soon!
 
It has my lil mouse embroidery pattern!

Always a thrill to see your name in print.

One design is a pillow....the other a pincushion scissors fob.

I sent my projects to France for them to photograph them.


Fun and easy

Just letting you see that there are plenty of diagrams, photos, and instructions.


This is one of my ads for the magazine....it was fun to make my own ad.
I've always designed my pattern covers, blog post, artwork...etc... so it wasn't very hard.
I guess all those computer classes were good after all...lol.

Hope you have a fabulous day!
