Remember I did those three small alphabet sketches in response to Somerset Studio's call for Lettering Using Usual Tools? Well, I actually sent them in along with two other small pieces that fit the theme.
Then I got an email from the editor of Somerset Studio, Jenny Doh, saying my work was *outstanding* and would certainly be included in their "Lively Art of Lettering" section! I was so thrilled!
They will be in Mar/April 2006 issue. Oh my gosh, there are a lot of trips to the mailbox between now and then. Oh well, still thrilled!
I had intended to share pictures of those other two pieces when I returned from house hunting in TX. You know, trying to spread out sharing the artwork so it seems like I'm making stuff regularly rather than in spurts. And then I discovered that I didn't take pictures of them before I sent them off. Grrrrr.
Anyway, here is an OLD in progress shot. I added borders and quilted.
I liked the idea that when asked to use an "unusal tool" for making letters, I went straight for the scissors and sewing machine needle. What about you... any letter quilts in your personal gallery of work?

I DEFINITELY have some letter quilts - check out my blog entries for 30 July and 18 August to see two of my samplers. Congrats on your future publication.
congratulations!!! Yeah and hurray!
Congratulations! That's very exciting news--published. I'm amused that the sewing machine is considered an "unusual tool" but I suppose in the calligraphy world, it is! CAn we expect to see a series?! We'll all say we knew you before you were a famous alphabet fiber artist!
Just my number quilt. Congrats! Did you know that I have a post card in the current issue of Cloth Paper Scissors? I was excited, too. And I didn't even submit it, Karey Bresenhan did!
Way to go! Keep up the good work!
Yay Deborah! Very cool!!
Yes, I remember the alphabet post. Thought they looked cool. But the vareigated letters look great too!
