I'm so happy to have a quilt in the latest issue of Modern Patchwork. I named it First Call for Fall. The magazine shortened it to Call for Fall, but I'm sticking with the original name.
It all started with this logo. My husband was searching for contact information on a church website and when I saw the church logo, I had him wait long enough for me to take a screen shot.
With a few adjustments, I knew it would make a great quilt block. I love it when inspiration strikes from unexpected places.
The quilt is in a section of the magazine called Muted Moderns. Cool graphics...
I made the entire quilt top from my stash--also a bonus. I had enough Essex yarn-dyed linen, some Kona cottons in light colors, and scraps of Oakshott cottons in fall-ish colors.
I had a complete surprise when I was paging through the actual magazine for the first time: my quilt from the Summer 2014 issue, Chain Link, was used in the first article, right there across from Jacquie Gering, Alissa Haight Carlton and Latifah Saafir. As my grandson, Levi, has been saying a lot lately, "Holy smokes!!"
I'm linking up with
Crazy Mom Quilts and
TGIFF. Have a great weekend!
How is it that I have come to know such a star? : )

ReplyDeleteWaHoo!!! Way to go Cindy. This is a lovely muted modern quilt. I need to find an issue.
ReplyDeleteVery fun! :D I love "First Call for Fall" - fun story and a nice look. Kinda weird that nobody asked/told you that your other quilt would feature in that article, but fun, too!
ReplyDeleteOh wow! This is such fun stuff for you, Cindy! I'm happy for you. Your quilt designs are so modern. I hope quilters make them, and that you get to see them too! Those grandies say some of the most appropriate stuff, don't they? Congratulations on this deserved recognition!
ReplyDeleteI just got my copy today, I will check it out. Congratulations!
ReplyDeleteOh Cindy, I'm so excited for you! Both of these quilts are beautiful.
ReplyDeleteI'm just thrilled for you on both counts and as soon as B&N gets the magazine in, I'm going to have a look-see myself! I'm glad you showed us the block--I was trying to figure it out from your snaps and just couldn't. Wonderful!!!
