One of the milestones that passed while I was absent from blogging is that I had an article published in QuiltCon magazine. QuiltCon is the publication available to all of the attendees of the Modern Quilt Guild conference, as well as the general public via Interweave. Although I've written articles before and was a technical editor for Australian patchwork magazines, this felt like a big deal. I was suddenly playing in the big leagues.
My article featured tips for small space quilting - ideas about how to make the most of small spaces, hints and tips for storage and general ideas for quilts who need to survive in a 125 sq ft caravan. I really do miss caravan living, but I'm happy that I can always look back at the magazine and remember what it was like.
How committed am I to the ideas I've put into the article? I've bought the exact same storage solution now in three different cities... including one without an IKEA!
If you're a modern quilter, I'd encourage you to submit an article or pattern for consideration for next year's magazine. The editors were terrific to work with, the compensation was very acceptable and it's a great way to share your thoughts and ideas with a wider audience. 2017 QuiltCon magazine submissions are being accepted through September 20, 2017. Go on! What are you waiting for?!
happy crafting, amy badskirt.
