I recently received proofs for two of my articles for the upcoming issue of Altered Couture magazine. It is amazing the great things they can do to make my altered clothing look sooooo good. Both items will be technique articles. Each will have a two page spread. They both look great. I can't share the photos with you. You'll have to buy the magazine in November but I can tell you that one involves a child's overall and a vintage apron. The other machine needle felting. I can hardly wait until the magazine arrives. We receive a complimentary copy of the magazine just prior to it's release in bookstores.
I also have an item in the November/December Belle Armoire magazine. It's so much fun to see your works in print. I only sent in one item for the Spring issue of Altered Couture. Things have a little crazy this summer. I do have some ideas for the Summer issue due in December.
Today was a great mail day. The postcard is from Norma. Isn't it great. The Trimmed Tags are from Kathie, Cathy, and Marilyn. Both swaps are with the Fabric in Altered Arts 2 Group. It's always fun to get these little treasures in the mail. You can see one of my trimmed tags here.
We recently completed a Seaside Bunting trade on Fiber Art Traders. These lovely buntings have arrived and are waving in my studio. They are international buntings. The taffy bunting is from Canada, the oriental bunting from the United Kingdom, and sea themed bunting from California. You can see my bikini bunting here.
This is my quiltie for September in Fabric in Altered Art 2. We are going through the alphabet and this month's letter was "D". My goal was to have the quiltie look like a stain glass window. I think I achieved my goal. I'm quite pleased with the little quilt. Now it goes in the mail to Penny our trade hostess.
