B-I-G NEWS !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I am SO excited that I can hardly type this~
but here goes!!!

This past week, I received a phone call

from Jen at the Woolen Willow
(http://www.woolenwillow.com/)

She told me the EXCITING news,
that she and her sisters are putting together a
BRAND NEW PUBLICATION/Magazine
for us lovers and makers of Primitive Needlework Projects...
titled:
Primitive Quilts and Projects

I am thrilled to know that they have taken on such an adventure,
to fill such a much-needed niche...
and knowing Jen & Gretchen,
it will be a top-notch, first-class magazine...
it will be along the lines of the super-popular
American Patchwork and Quilting magazine
and will be available at your local bookstores or by subscription
(you can email Jen at woolenwillow@aol.com, or call 304-375-9665)
you can also visit the woolen willow website and click on the 'newsletter' link
to read more about this exciting adventure!!

We SO NEED a true, primitive-type project magazine out there for us,...
(I know, Create & Decorate is good,
but...there are usually only a few,
what I call 'true' primitive projects in there...
some of the stuff is just a little too "fru-fru" for me)...

SO
now, here's the KICKER....

Jen has asked little ol' me to be a designer for their first 4 issues!!!
You could have knocked me over with a feather when she asked me...
I am humbled, thrilled, excited and skeered all at the same time!

I will be in thee best company of
Nationally & World Renowned Designers of
Quilts and Needlework ~
and boy-oh-bopy am I chomping at the creative bit
to begin designing for them!!

SO...go on over to their website,
leave them an encouraging & congratulatory note
and mark your calenders for April 2011
.... that's when the first issue arrives on newsstands!!

and again, I say:

" WOOHOO!!!!!
go Jen & Gretchen!!!!!! "
and...
THANK YOU for thinkin' of me!!

Blessings from the Farm
