I’m the latest COVER GIRL for Quilting Arts!!!
Ever since I bought my very first copy of Quilting Arts Magazine, I have wanted to be in it. It was my dream to grace it’s pages as a writer, and have my art be included. Back in 2010, I was able to write the first of many articles for my favorite publication. But I still never made the cover.
Until now, that is.
OMG! This was/is a HUGE bucket list item for me!
You can watch Vivika DeNegre, the fabulous editor and good friend of mine, surprise me at Quilt Market and Threads of Success with the good news. So many happy tears!!!
My article on using Sew Much Cosplay Power Shine Glitter and Foil is also amazing and you should check it out too!
SQUEE!!
The QATV Blog Hop Stop – Plus a Giveaway!
What a great idea it was to introduce everyone from this season of Quilting Arts TV by doing a blog hop! I’ve been on the show a few fair number of times, and I have even had people tell me they recognize me by my hair, which is pretty neat!
Here’s a few behind the scenes photos of the show and set…
Make up! I do my own hair for the show, but I had it colored the week before by my very talented stylist Cara.
Selfie time! I’m known to post these fun selfies on Instagram all the time. 
Susan and I taped an episode about using Sharpie markers for tie dye effects on fabric!
We also taped one about using shaving cream to make marbled prints on your fabric with acrylic inks.
Sounds like fun, right? I can’t wait for you to try these methods in your fiber art.
To that end, I’m giving away a 24 pack of Sharpie Markers so you can try this at home! And you can also use them for your journaling, drawing, and other stuff too. Here are the rules:

Guess Who is in Quilting Arts Magazine This Month?
Three guesses and the first two don’t count! I’m in the latest issue of QA Magazine with an article on how to do Suminagashi fabric marbling!
The day I took the process photos I had the PERFECT amount of no breeze. The suminigashi effect was working out so well! But man, I needed to at least do my HAIR! ha ha I didn’t expect you to see that in the magazine! Go out and get your copy and be sure to let me know what you think!
See Me on the Next Season of Quilting Arts TV!
So while I was off taping my DVD in March, I also taped a few more episodes of Quilting Arts TV! I’m going to be in episodes 1407 and 1411! Susan is a fabulous hostess and I know you will love what this new season has in store for you.
