Have any of you ever made a goal so outrageous that you don’t ever really even consider it to be a possibility? You might still work towards that goal, but the hopes that it will come to fruition aren’t there. That’s exactly how I feel about this post. I always looked at the quilts and projects in this magazine and was blown away by the talent and variety. I’m BEYOND excited (so excited I’m yelling in all caps!) to say that this quilt I submitted to Love Patchwork and Quilting Magazine made the cover! When I started sewing a few years ago, I joined the San Antonio Modern Quilt Guild, and someone mentioned that LP& Q was the only magazine they bought. So I jumped on that train. I had never heard of it, because I was very new to quilting, let alone sewing. I was tired of the traditional color palettes that are represented in other quilting magazines. It was definitely love at first sight, and I subscribed to it immediately. (And ask for it for Christmas every year!)

I’m super excited about the photography of this quilt! I’ve never had a quilt professionally “shot” before, so it is thrilling to see the results (and know that I have a lot to learn when it comes to my own quilt photography 😉
This quilt is something I worked really hard on, and for a long time. I am so thankful to the amazing people at Robert Kaufman Fabrics for providing the Kona Cotton Solids that were used to make the cover quilt, and for the opportunity from LP&Q to share my quilt!
I did some custom quilting and a little bit of ruler work on the longarm to finish off the quilt. I hope you’ll check out the quilt in issue 48 of Love Patchwork and Quilting! Thanks for letting me share my happy news with you 🙂
