International Shout Out for Quilter’s Home
Mark Lipinski’s Quilter’s Home is listed on the homepage of America Online today. That means that everyone who is a member or who even visits AOL could see it when they log onto AOL! I’m floored and amazed at how much mainstream press this issue is getting! Of course, comments are invited to be made by AOL readers/members which is always interesting. Thank you, Linda Hahn, for alerting me to this!
Here’s what it looked like.
Good News & Bad News
The good news is that this issue is sold out. 100% gone from CK Media! Not a copy left.
The bad news is that this issue is sold out. That means that if you’d like a copy, you’ll have to troll eBayor try your local quilt shops (sorry it’s too late for them to order a copy for you) or hit the online shops like eQuilter, or shops I know have a couple left like Kindred Quilts . Just know if you’re a collector of quilting things, this issue is already a collector’s item.

Went to Emma’s QUilt Cupboard, and the page wouldn’t load. AVG says a “threat was discovered” in the file accessed! Still looking for this magazine!

Hey Mark, now they’re all debating this on Craftypod! http://www.craftypod.com/
LOL I put a link to your blog in hers…. maybe you’ll pick up some new readers. At least they can come here & get better informed instead of making up their own answers, huh?

My non-quilting daughter asked me if I had seen the issue! I asked how she even knew about it and she said she read it on fark.com

What a stir indeed!
Do we see a new venue for Art Quilts? And quilts in general?
I have my copy. One of our local grocery stores still has copies too.

I’m one of the lucky ones with a subscription and Mark was so gracious (and cool) to sign it for me at the Sewing Expo in Puyallup…my friend Jean and I were at the head of the line and he came over and autographed the copies … how much you think I can sell them for? Nevermind, won’t part with it.

I agree with Barb, I’ve gotten a lot of hits on my blog since I first mentioned this controversy! One good thing coming out of this is that maybe there will be even more awareness that quilts aren’t always “blankets”!

Hey Mark, I found this book today at Ladyfingers (Gail Kessler’s shop). They still have 3 more copies of it. When I saw it, I was like OMG! I can’t believe you have this magazine, of course, I had to buy it!

PS – The article sounds negative until the last paragraph when he stands up for your right to print whatever you want.
