Crazy Quilt Quarterly Magazine Summer 2019

I had a lot of ladies asking when the Summer 2019 issue of Crazy Quilt Quarterly magazine would be available.  I usually release the issues on the 1st but decided not make anyone wait any longer!

Here you go, the Summer 2019 issue:

Crazy Quilt Quarterly magazine Summer 2019

Our cover artist is Margaret Tuite. Her unique and colorful textile art is not only breathtaking but quite inspirational! Another textile artist featured in this issue is Julie Brand of Tigley Textiles. Anne Haughan shares her concern over environmental issues with her Troubled Waters quilt.

You may recognize Stephanie Novatski by her gorgeous dolls but did you know she did some crazy quilting too? Shirl Hubbs shares the work of her father, Gen Tracey offers some Wedding Pillow eye candy and Janese Morris shares another of her fabulous CQ toys, this time a kitten!

We have a Nativity quilt by Kathy Billings who also graciously agreed to let us interview her regarding her 2020 CQ challenge project. Pat Winter shared an article on Snippet Rolls, Darlene Kliewer is working on a hexagon project and Angela Grasse shares another of her pretty CQ projects! Mary Anne Richardson gives us more ideas on what to do with all those orphaned CQ blocks.

Be Back Soon!

I'm winding down from running on adrenaline for so long with my husband's cancer treatment.  He's doing great but I'm very tired now so I'm just taking a little break.  The feeding tube is out and the port will be taken out in August.

I'll be back soon with more bands for the Never Ending Sampler Stitch Along.  Also, the Autumn issue of Crazy Quilt Quarterly will be released on August 1st so look for that upcoming post!

Sneak Peek

I thought you would all enjoy a sneak peek of the Summer 2015 issue of Crazy Quilt Quarterly magazine.  Here it is, the cover design:

This one is a special edition!  50 pages as opposed to the traditional 40.  I'll go back to 40 pages with the Autumn issue.  The special Seascape Issue will be released on May 1st.

Call For Magazine Submissions

I just got off the phone with Adobe.  I will be making the switch from the Corel line of graphic software to Adobe Photoshop.  I'm still kind of old school I guess.  I'm used to going over to Best Buy, purchasing software on a CD and installing it on my computer that way.  Now everything is subscriptions done via online downloads.

I had some questions that weren't covered on Adobe's website so I just called.  Wow!  I got a person immediately who I could understand!  No waiting on hold for hours!  The lady had to transfer me and again, I got a nice person who answered right away and explained the entire process to me!  I was on and off the phone in 5 minutes!  I think Dell could learn some lessons from Adobe!!!!

Okay, this is just a quick post for right now.  If I have time later, I'll post some photos of my recent Crazy Quilt project.  Yes, I have been stitching through my Dell Disaster!

I'm going to be wrapping up the Spring issue of Crazy Quilt Quarterly magazine soon so I want to put the call out for submissions for the Summer issue.  The overall theme will be Seascapes.  The issue won't be limited to seascapes but I think that will be a nice focus since ocean themes elude many crazy quilters.

I'm looking for articles, tutorials and eye candy with fish, the ocean floor, anemones and so on.  Certainly feel free to send anything you would like to submit to my email but if you've done seascapes, I want to see it!!!!

As soon as I wrap up the Spring issue, I will be starting on the Summer issue.  I know everyone is busy with Christmas but if you can take a break and send me submissions, that would be awesome!

I'm also accepting ads for the Summer issue now as well so please contact me if you would like to promote your Etsy shop or other needlework related business.

Finally, on New Year's Day, I will post a sneak peek of the Spring issue.  Stop back then to see the cover!

November 1st Deadline

I've been stitching on some small Crazy Quilt purses and making progress on my 2nd in this set:

Notice the little tatted flowers on the right.  I made those yesterday morning!  The center flower is from a vintage hankie.  I really need to use some of my collection before I start buying more!  I love vintage hankies!

JUST A REMINDER:  The deadline for projects, tutorials, eye candy and Ad Copy for the Spring 2015 issue of Crazy Quilt Quarterly magazine is November 1st.  I know it's a little tight for everyone right now with Pat working on her last issue and me working on my first but I need to have all my ducks in a row so to speak, well in advance.  If you have anything you want me to include in the Spring issue or if you want to place an Ad, please email me asap!

Also, I'm looking for an Easter themed Crazy Quilt project.  It doesn't have to be a big project, just something small for eye candy!!!  Please let me know if you have something you want to share!
