I'm (not) famous!

Well, my quilt design, anyway. Teresa posts today that her quilt is on the front of a magazine, uncredited(!) with the pattern included (also uncredited!) inside. Teresa's quilt is lovely, and was the result of a swap inspired by a block shower based on a Log Cabin block that I "created." Whew!

Here's the very first ever bright log cabin Original Daniel's Quilt, from a block shower on the about.com quilting forum arranged by Sophie. The warm/cool/red center colouration was my idea, the layout was my idea, the block assembly was the work of many, many friends. If you click on the Webshots link in the sidebar you can see many more of the ideas that have crawled out of my imagination. Mostly traditional blocks, but in unusual colourways or layouts. Here's little Daniel, thrilled that his mom finally got his quilt finished. I sent it out to Jeri Clark for quilting and she did a fabu job, even stitching the kids' names into the quilt!

Marcia at quilterscache got a shower of her own, and assembled an even bigger quilt than this one. I'm not sure, I think the swap(s) fell somewhere between my quilt and hers.

Teresa assembled her oops blocks (she said there's something wrong with them, but I don't see it), quilted a cute airplane design (she's a GREAT machine quilter) and submitted a photo to Quilts magazine (I think.) They published her picture, with credit, then I guess held onto it for future use. Well, the future is now, and they, ahem, LOST Teresa's info! Did that stop them from running it, uncredited? NO! She's called them and is getting credit, and a check! Good for you, Teresa! That quilt will sell magazines for them, you deserve a cut. Me, all I want is credit for the quilt that started it all.
