ReplyDeleteI am not surprised - you should be on every cover - you are so talented! How should we celebrate?
ReplyDeleteCongratulations.
ReplyDeleteI suspect if I made a magazine cover, my post would be unreadable from the excessive exclamation points. (and kudos on the correct term, I often see them referred to as "exclamation marks") Of course, the rule "Beware of overusing exclamation points. Using them too frequently makes them less meaningful." is one I break frequently. *sigh*
congrats, julie! this is awesome!!!
ReplyDeleteYou go right ahead with those exclamation points!!! Very well deserved.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations and lots of luck with the new shop!!!

Congratulations!!! That is absolutely wonderful; I'm so happy for you!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on having your quilt published. What a great accomplishment.
ReplyDeleteI love your circle quilt. I bought the fabric - a layer cake on line (a first). I've never bought a layer cake or any fabric on line. I am learning a lot from the Philly Modern Quilt Guild - I'm so glad I joined. I will no doubt be pestering people for advise as I go along.
Heh. I started making this quilt before I started reading your blog. Now I know why I like you so much! :)
ReplyDeleteI'll send you a picture when I'm done...
I picked up this magazine because of the quilt on the top and THEN I found your blog! I love it and have intentions on making it one day. Congratulations! You deserve it!
