A Brief Detour: The Quilter Magazine (Sept)
Woohooo….. a while back my contact at Janome America (I am VERY fortunate to have a loaner Janome 6600 from them, thank you Janome-America for your support!) called to ask if she could interview me about thread. It turns out she moonlights writing for The Quilter magazine….
I had thought I would be one of several people quoted in a longer article, as she had also spoken with Bob Purcell, co-owner with wife Heather, of Superior Threads (which also happen to be some of my favorite threads…I must, literally, have several hundred spools!). Well… it ended up being a 2-page profile!
In the magazine’s machine quilting section are an interview with longarm master quilter Renae Haddadin, the profile of me, an article (I’m guessing this one is also by my contact) on “choosing the Perfect Thread: a Machine Quilter’s Product Guide” and one by Morna Golletz of the Professional Quilter Magazine on a machine quilting career.
Thanks A. for calling, asking me, and turning it into a whole article (and bless you for mentioning the book up front!)!

Congratulations! Way to go! Now I’ll have to go back and buy this magazine so I can read the article. I had just made myself a new policy to not buy so many magazines and save the money for books instead. (Magazines I’m paying for advertisin and with books I’m not.) Now I have to make my go ahead and make an exception to my own rule! But I wouldn’t miss it! Thanks for letting us know!

Congrats! Enjoyed your chat in The Quilter, and the photo of the threadwork on your hands is incredible. Really whets my appetite for the new book. Did you notice we shared the same issue? My article on a successful machine quilting career is just a few pages later. Cheer!
