Well… actually she does. š I just found out my Charming Chevrons quilt (which I thought I was done blogging about yesterday) was seen in a current issue of Martha Stewart Living Magazine (July/August 2013 p. 4). How cool is that?
It’s a small picture, and I’m a little disappointed that they didn’t credit me, but they did mention QuiltCon. I think that’s a picture of Denyse Schmidt’s quilt below mine – so still pretty cool!
Martha Stewart is advertising her contest called American Made, so after seeing a snippet of my quilt in the magazine, I decided to enter.
You can see my American Made profile here, and voting begins August 24th if you are so inclined. I’m not expecting much from it, but if it can get my name and blog out there, then it was worth the effort. (And I’ll forgive the editors for not mentioning my name in the magazine, LOL!)
In other magazine news, I was pretty excited that I was quoted in an article about QuiltCon by none other than modern quilting goddess, Jacquie Gering. She borrowed a picture of mine that I took at QuiltCon showing the adorable hand-made ribbons. Jacquie’s article was titled, “Modern Moments” and appeared in the Summer 2013 issue of Quilting Quarterly put out by The National Quilting Association.
Yes, I’m a self-proclaimed public relations nerd and I have both copies of these magazines now. But hey, I used to pay good money for publicity like this and now I’m getting it for free. That’s a win-win in my book! š
Christa Quilts 
I think that’s pretty lame they didn’t credit you You put soo much work into designing and making that quilt!
Super cool! Congratulations. And Denyse Schmidt is EXCELLENT company to be in! It super-bugs me when quilters-bloggers don’t get the taglines and credit they deserved–WSJ pulled that nonsense a couple of months back. Makes me wonder how we can stick up for ourselves when this happens?
Way to go Christa! I’m not surprised. : )
Congrats. That is so cool.
I can’t wait to vote for you Christa. You would have thought they would have notified you about putting your quilt in the magazine. Good luck and hope you win.
Hi Christa,
Congrats on having your quilt in the magazine. That is so special. You should be so proud. You can count on my vote. I went and looked at your profile. You look great – but look at the text. Somehow the online got separated and appears as 2 words rather than 1. Again congratulations, I would be tickled pink if that were I.
Congrats! You deserve the credit! It’s all good Karmaā¦good will come back to you in so many ways! Have a great day.
Congratulations. This is very cool. Especially that it is all free now. LOL
Woohoo! Congratulations! I agree that you should have been credited but still it’s a “good thing”
š
Nice one! You can say that again š
Can’t wait for August 24th! I will definitely support you. I’m so happy for you. My husband was a little taken aback when I excitedly pointed out your quilt in Martha’s magazine, and showed him your quilt in your blog. He joked that I was turning into a quilty junkie! Haha š
Congratulations, Christa! You have accomplished a lot! I am very happy for you!
Thanks so much! I don’t know what’s better – being in the magazine or getting high praise from so many of my blog readers. š
Congratulations! Looks like your chevron quilt is paving the way for a quilty future! Way to go!
Oh my, congratulations!! How exciting for you to be in 2 publications.
The cool thing about it is that one of your readers actually let you know. It’s thrilling to be in the magazine but knowing some people recognized your quilt might be even better.
That is ridiculously cool that your in MSL!! Honestly, I’m not sure I would care if I were credited or not. It’s freaking Martha Stewart! LOL. Congrats! : )
Bad form, Martha. Especially if she desires to support American artisans. Isn’t that what American Made is all about?
Maybe if you wrote them & said you seen your quilt in their magazine and maybe the next publication they can give you the KUDO’s you so rightfully deserve.
Thanks – I tried that and some of the organizers of QuiltCon reached out to them but… nothing. Oh well, not worth fighting over. I was just thrilled to see it in print š
That’s very cool! Sorry they didn’t credit you. =(
Exciting stuff!! I do think you should have been credited in Martha’s magazine though. :S
Congratulations! It’s incredibly cool to have your quilt in Martha’s mag. I wish they would have given you the well deserved credit for creating it. Your profile looks great! I can’t wait to vote. I’ll have to wait until August 25th. My son is getting married on the 24th so I will be a little busy that day.
