Ferret Posted January 18, 2007 Report Share Posted January 18, 2007 Popular Patchwork Magazine are going to publish a pattern I designed. I am so excited. They asked for a simple bed quilt using the Ombre range of fabrics. It got a bit hectic (they didn;t really have a deadline then it was a week away), but it will be out next month. I've put the pictures up on my blog now, the magazine said it was OK to tell people all about it now. It's kinda wierd, I didn't expect this to be happening, but I think I like it Ferret Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MaHubs Posted January 18, 2007 Report Share Posted January 18, 2007 I have fallen in love with this quilt and have printed out a copy and attached it to my calendar so I'll remember to buy the magazine and the pattern. It is absolutely MY kind of quilt. Thank you so much for sharing this...and congratulations on being such a great designer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

birgitquilts Posted January 18, 2007 Report Share Posted January 18, 2007 Oh, Ferret, that is such a great quilt! I just love it! Too bad that this magazine is not available here in Germany. I'm sure this is the beginning of something great for you. Birgit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

quiltmonkey Posted January 18, 2007 Report Share Posted January 18, 2007 Ferret, I really like your quilt and the story behind the challenge to make it all work. I think it's cool to learn how a design came together behind the scenes, and all the challenges that happened to design a pattern. I like it when the pattern magazines put a story describing this along with the pattern. Thanks for sharing. PS: I noticed you followed the ROY G. BIV (exact sequence of color spectrum in the rainbow from largest to smallest wavelength) many people get the order of those colors and that sequence mixed up. I learned way, waaaaay back in the 7th grade that the color spectrum is the name of a man: "ROY G. BIV" = Red Orange Yellow Green Blue Indigo Violet, and I've never fogotten the color spectrum sequence, even after all these years...LOL!! Through association, some of the silliest things we will never forget... Congrats on your published pattern. It's nice! Shana Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sewingupastorm Posted January 18, 2007 Report Share Posted January 18, 2007 Congratulations on your quilt design and magazine publication. It is very nice and I really like the way you quilted it. I also read and enjoyed your desicription of how you put together your "Bridge" quilt. I jsut love everything about it. The techinque is very intriguing and something I would enjoy trying myself. Your compositing is just wonderful and the finished quilt has wonderful impact Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ferret Posted January 19, 2007 Author Report Share Posted January 19, 2007 Thanks guys. I can never forget the colours of the rainbow, I was taught Richard Of York Gave Battle In Vain to remember it. Also I loved optics in my time as an Astrophysist, I would be shot for not knowing the spectrum. I wrote the instructions for the magazine, though I believe they have been rewritten somewhat. It will be interesting to see what they changed. Hopefully I will learn something about writing patterns from what they do with the instructions.

Ferret Posted January 21, 2007 Author Report Share Posted January 21, 2007 No problem, I have been desperte to share it but I had to wait until the magazine was about to come out I was worried it would be too much to my tastes and not appeal to other people. You guys have put my mind at rest. Thank you Ferret Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bekah Posted January 21, 2007 Report Share Posted January 21, 2007 Congratulations!! We always are so thrilled to see what you do with fabric and thread and to think we migtht be able to be a little bit like you is quite a thrill. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ferret Posted January 22, 2007 Author Report Share Posted January 22, 2007 OH My! the magazine and fabric wholesaler who commisioned this one want another. Only slight drawback is I have to have it made by the 16th of Feb! I guess it means they are pleased so that is good, and I love what they want next so I had to say yes I guess I must like pressure! Very very excited Ferret Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Patch Posted January 23, 2007 Report Share Posted January 23, 2007 Ferret. To say I am impressed with your work is to say a falsehood. I AM COMPLETELY BLOWN AWAY!!! You are an inspiration, no doubt about it, and I'm very glad to be on the same website with you. Here's to you and your fabulous artwork! "May your sorrows be patched and your joys be quilted," and may you design many more quilts for us all to make! I can hardly wait to go to a quilt show now and be looking for your name. Wow!!!

MaHubs Posted February 13, 2007 Report Share Posted February 13, 2007 Has any seen this Feb issue on the newstands here in the US yet? I see that it's published in the UK. I haven't seen this magazine before and wonder if I'll need to go to a large store such as Barnes and Noble to find it... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MaHubs Posted February 21, 2007 Report Share Posted February 21, 2007 Can anyone suggest to me where I can expect to find Popular Patchwork in stores/newstands in Northern California. I tried Borders. No luck. I am DETERMINED to get a copy of this pattern! Is it available at JoAnn's or must I go to a quilt shop? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Patch Posted February 21, 2007 Report Share Posted February 21, 2007 I think it's only available in the UK, judging by what I found online when I did a search just now. Got any L's? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fastazzu Posted February 22, 2007 Report Share Posted February 22, 2007 Ferret, Go on with your Bad Self!! I think that is just wonderful!! Something to be proud of. I bet you're on top of the world right about now!! I know I would be. Keep us informed how things go. Donna Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ferret Posted February 22, 2007 Author Report Share Posted February 22, 2007 I've sent a couple of magazines out already. If you like I can send you a magazine in return for a bit of fabric? I am sure I did see someone online selling it in the US but I can't think right now. If I remember I will let you know. Ferret Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
