You probably don't recall the
little pile of trimmings I posted about last May. I can
finally share what those came from.
My three runners were featured in American Patchwork and Quilting's June 2016 issue!

I sent the runners out at the end of June, and got to see proofs last month, but I didn't quite believe it until I actually saw them in print, with my name right there on the page. There might or might not have been some squealing and happy dancing happening here yesterday when I finally saw the magazine.
These runners had the benefit of professional staging and photography, so I won't bother sharing any more of my photos.

I particularly like how the color placement and choices change the look of the border. And it's funny how tastes change. When I first worked up this design, I really favoured the fall version. When I sewed them up, the grey and yellow was my hands-down favourite. I really didn't care much for the green/blue/yellow the editor requested, but made it anyway, and quilted it, and shrugged. Well, guess which one is my favourite right now? Yup. The green one!
The magazine should be on store shelves soon, and may have already appeared in subscriber mailboxes. I did spy a few copies out early at my local supermarket. My ever supportive husband, who was with me at the time, was ever so disappointed that the cashier didn't ask why I would buy three copies of the same magazine so he could enlighten her!
Yes, I bought three copies. One for my mom, one for my mom-in-law, and one to give away (APQ sent me my very own copy). If you'd like to win a copy of the June 2016 issue of American Patchwork and Quilting, leave me a comment telling me what you're working on these days. If you are a no-reply blogger, remember to leave me a way to contact you if you win. I'll draw a comment at random next Sunday, April 10th.
Happy quilting!
