First there was an idea, then a design was developed with the help of EQ6, then came blocks of 9-patches and stars, and finally a quilt! This was supposed to be a quilt for my newest grandchild born last December. I was way ahead of schedule and finished it last summer. So instead of waiting for the baby, I sent the photo to McCall's magazine. They liked it! This is their photo below.
Here is baby Isaac without his new quilt. See how he is suffering.
Today I was informed that it will actually be published in the June-July issue of McCall's Quick Quilts! Check out the link to McCall's to get a preview of my quilt, American Dreamer, and all the other quilts that will be appearing in this up coming issue. There is even a link to directions for a queen size version! My quilt is 49" x 49" --a large sized baby quilt, which is a good thing because baby won't be getting it for a while!
This issue will be out April 13 through May 4, 2010. Now I will be circling the mailbox in anticipation!

I'm jumping up and down here in Atlanta cheering for you, Marcie! The Quick Quilts webpage looks GORGEOUS.
Congratulations, Marcie! What a special quilt. I know two published people now via blogging -- you and Mary!
I'm heading right out to a local store to see if it's on their shelves.
Oh how adorable and sweet! and the quilt is too. I like it. Congratulations!!
I saw this over at Mary's and had to jump right over and tell you congratulations! You did a fantastic job. It has my favorite elements in it including stars and patriotic colors! Way to go!
Wooo-hooo, excitment! Poor lil' fella. I'm sure he'll have it for next winter.
I am so happy for you...such a pretty quilt, they are lucky to have you in their magazine! I will look for the magazine too!

I will say it once and say it a thousand times - you have such talent, such a gift. Another thing I've found about the "www" that I like. We can get to actually know one another. If this creation occurred 20 years ago, well, we wouldn't all be able to Celebrate together!!! Well everyone except the suffering Issac. Bless his little punkin' heart. Already he is a giving soul. :)
Congratulation to both of you. Wonderful job!!
Congratulations Marcie!!! What an honor! And your grandbaby is adorable :o)
Congratulation!!! I love this quilt. It's in my favorite colors too. So exciting!!!
Congratulations! On the baby and the quilt! You are a fortunate woman.
Oh Marcie! How beautiful!
And to think I've known you since before you were a hot shot. Man, can I spot talent, or what!? LOL!

Congratulations on being published in McCall's and sweet grandbaby Isaac...who looks completely content in this photo. :-D
My favorite color combination! Congratulations, you and Mary make a great team. I need to find this magazine, well done, you. Poor baby Isaac, quiltless at such a tender age.
Wow .... congrats on a sweet grandchild and your quilt in McCall's ... it can't get any better than that!
Hooray for you, how exciting and congratulations. It's ok, Isaac won't need the quilt in warm weather. What a gorgeous wee one, check out the cheeks.
Yes, Isaac looks very upset that he doesn't have his quilt. LOL
It is beautiful and well deserved to get published!! Congrats!
