"How Letters Look" word quilts featured in Art Quilting Studio magazine

The Winter 2024 issue of Art Quilting Studio is out and I am all over it...literally! I have and article titled "How Letters Look," which is also mentioned in the intro letter.

The article features photos of "What I Stand On is What I Stand For," "I Will Paint Rainbows All Over Your Blues," and "The Persistence of Pluto."

I have an answer in the "What Would You Do" section, and two quilts are featured in the "Patchworks" section: "Women's Work" and "Peace Wheel." 

Art Quilting Studio is published quarterly and is packed full of new quilting techniques and innovative design ideas.

It is one of many publications put out by Stampington & Company. I've heard it's available at some Joann stores. You can find a store near you where it's sold or order it directly from the Stampington website.

The very first group exhibit that I had a piece in, back in 2006 before I started this blog, was the Solstice Show at the Shirley Jones Gallery in Yellow Springs. For that exhibit, I made the piece A Winter Snowscape.
