I have been featured and interviewed in a magazine for the first time! It is the German magazine Patchwork Professional (Issue 3, 2009) and I can only just spell my way through. Four pages, I can't quite believe it.................
The first two pages features my quilt "Rage", which has been exhibited at The Festival of Quilts (FOQ) 2008 ("Judges Choice") and at The Danish Guild Conference 2009. It is very difficult to photograph, as the wholes in it comes out as white "dots" - depending on the background colour. Also shown is my "Thin Blue Line" quilt, done in a challenge by The Contemporary Quilt Group and exhibited at the Dudley Museum, FOQ and Loch Lomond Quilt Show (2008-9).
In the next two pages I demonstrate how I make the holes in the quilt:
Also featured is my quilt "GardenDreams" that was on the cover of Quilting Arts Magazine (issue 23).
I have been admiring her quilts for years, so it was great to meet her and see her solo exhibition at FOQ.
When departing for the festival, neither of us had
received our complementary copy, but I was lucky; my friend Ineke Berlyn had a copy that I could borrow to glance through and also to show to Jenny.
Because of my winning at FOQ, I also got my "Little Thin Blue Line" quilt featured in The Guild magazine "The Quilter" together with the 2nd and 3rd prize in the "Miniature" category.
