I was going through a 'transition' time in 2007, and it was a bit of a rough time. I was floating in a sea of 'what am i supposed to be doing', when wandering aimlessly through a newsagent I came across a Quilting Arts mag. In it was a quick workshop on applying acrylic paint to fabric then machine sewing and embellishing the image. The image was a gateway. (very symbolic) All of a sudden a light went on! It was time to rediscover art, I had left my creative side packed away in boxes 5 years previously and I realized this is what was missing in my life! I have subscribed to each issue of QA and CPS ever since, I now have my own little shop on Etsy and have found my place.

Congratulations on 10 years and a Big THANKYOU to you Pokey and your wonderful staff and the amazingly creative artists that you feature.

Pokey, I am so honored to be featured in your favorite issue of 2007 with all my bestest art quilt girlfriends for our quilt Fauna. QA did such an awesome job photographing it and showing all the details. Thanks again for sharing our work with the world and making us look so good!
