Safe Flight Quilt

 I'm a Cover Girl :)

My quilt

Safe Flight

was chosen for the cover on the latest edition of

Modern Quilts Unlimited

 This is my first time to have

a quilt that I have designed

be featured on a magazine cover.

My friends have suggested I place the cover in a frame

and hang it on my sewing room wall.

(I just may do that :)

 The Summer 2014 Edition

 hit the News stands

 August 1st.

Modern Quilts Unlimited can be ordered online

HERE

and is often found in stores like

JoAnns or Barnes and Noble 

It's been selling fast at

3 Dudes Quilting in Phoenix

When I checked yesterday

they still had 3 copies left.

 This was a fun quilt to design and make.

A great way to use my Kaffe Fassett scraps.

 I sent the pictures and pattern into the magazine

months and months ago,

It's so nice to finally see the results.

 Rows and rows of Flying Geese 

Flying up and down.

 Many thanks to my friend 

Denise Holland 

for her help in drawing the diagrams for the pattern

and for also naming the quilt.

Originally I was thinking of calling it

Kaffe Flight

but Denise suggested (and she was correct)

the name Safe Flight

so people would know the quilt

could be made out of any fabric line.

Now that the quilt has been photographed by the publisher,

it is currently on it's way back to my house

and should be arriving any day now.

I'm looking forward to it's return.

Creating a quilt design,

writing the pattern,

and

sewing the quilt

is a somewhat labor intensive process.

By journey's end the quilt often feels

like a member of the family.

It will be rewarding to

welcome 

Safe Flight

back home.
