I've been harboring a little secret, well trying to? Seems like ages now, but way back beginning of August 2012, I was approached by Machine Quilting Unlimited magazine to do a 'little' tutorial on my Flourish wholecloth quilt.
To be honest I was happy enough that this quilt won 3 ribbons on it's first outing at the Scottish Quilt Championships 2011 but was pleased to think others thought it worthy of further mention.
I took it all step by step, have to say writing out the article was the easiest part, uploading and sending 1500 words and 14 photographs was a little nerve racking but all went well even with our very slow archaic broadband connection. All must have transferred over correctly and there were no rewrites, isn't technology wonderful?
Well, we got back from England late last night to find a hard copy of the magazine here on the doormat. I am thrilled with the layout, it covers 6 pages, my photos look really great, what a pleasant experience!
You can buy your own hard copy or subscribe to downloads here at Machine Quilting Unlimited there are of course many more interesting articles, it's a fantastic magazine, one of the best 'WooHoo'!
