today's Simply Quilts

Expected to see quilter's homes with their 'Sewing rooms/studios' etc. Was
quite disappointed in the whole set up. Won't be getting it again as I felt
the title was very misleading.

I thought it was ok - not great. They tried to do more than just your
basic quilt patterns and a couple of articles magazine. They showed
fabric collections and then paint swatches so you could coordinate the
rooms (hint, they always loved earth tones no matter what the fabric
was) a bunch of egg recipes and interesting article on someone who
makes quilts a'la Vera Wang wedding dresses (tucks, embellishments) I
thought it was a bit uneven but it is their first issue.

You can see what's in the magazines and order a copy if it appeals

Any reviews of the new magazine yet? What do you think of
it?

Me too. I was very disppointed. I was looking for ways to integrate more
quilts into my home decor. You know, something other than hanging them on
every wall or laying them on every flat surface in my house.

Sandy - you are more than welcome to come play here anytime.
This place is referred to by one-and-all as "The Playroom"
LOL

The irony is that this a lifetime collection and less than 2
weeks before I retired from the Air Force my eyesight was
damaged beyond repair. So I don't sew much anymore. But
"the girls" here think it's great! Further irony - I am
legally vision impaired and cannot drive, but I teach
sewing. The sewers here cannot understand how I can stand
on the other side of the room and correct them when they do
something wrong or if their bobbin is about to run out
ROFL (do do do do do do do do ((spooky music)) )

Moral - never put off something you REALLY want to do!!!
You may not get another chance.

Wouldn't that be cool? I'd love to read a magazine
about quilted shower curtains, quilted playmats,
quilted cushion covers, quilted chair backs, etc.

Howdy!

Get a copy of Nancy J. Martin's "Make Room for Quilts"
to find some beautifully displayed quilts, lots of ideas for decorating
with and around and for quilts. I love this book.
http://tinyurl.com/ryl66
Also see her books " Decorate With Quilts & Collections" &
"Make Room for Christmas Quilts" for many more quilts-around-the-house
suggestions. Great pics.

As for this guy's magazine, hmm...flipped thru' it at a store
....it does seem very "Oprah",
all about One person and his Vision. Which is fine if that's what a
person wants, the Wonderful World of Quilter Mark.
From the tips I've heard and read him give, well, little new or original
there. And the part where he's going to bring something new to the
downtrodden quilters of this world & create himself out of his boredom --
maybe he shouldn't stop looking for that bridge. ;-P
HMMV

I read your recommendation and thought "hey - what's one
more book on the already over stacked shelves?" so I went to
take a look.

OUCH!!

The only dealer offering international shipping wants $57+
for a used copy. I sure hope it's a nice book, but I will
never know LOL

Have to agree with Ragmop on this one - Make Room for Quilts is one of my
favorite quilt books. Great way to spend the evening, while half way
watching TV, looking through Make Room for Quilts at the same time.

Thanks, Cheryl -- I think the commute might break the bank, though.
As for the book Ragmop recommended to you, do you want me to order it
for you and ship it to you? I promise it wouldn't cost anything like
what you saw elsewhere. G
