It’s official… I’ve crapped my pants and my head’s exploded from mass expansion. My little cherry quilt made the cover! Not to mention getting published by my favorite publisher isn’t cool enough as it is!

May 8th, 2007That is so amazing! You and Pam are the most famous people I know. Is that the Cherry quilt on the cover of the magazine shown in this post? Because I remember seeing your cherry quilt and I feel like it had more cherries on it. Maybe I’m just hallucinating?
Anyway-break out the best red wine tonight and party like a mad-woman!
I might need an autograph though.
May 8th, 2007Congratulations Monica! How exciting to be published. I wonder if that mag is available here.
May 8th, 2007I am sooooo happy!!! I am totally loving the magazine and the cover and of course you! Got my magazine at Market from karen. Thrilled for you. Totally thrilled.
May 8th, 2007Congrats! I recently found this blog because you won a prize from Sommer Designs. Your site is cute and I love all the stuff you’ve made.

May 8th, 2007Congratulations! I am so excited for you! I’m excited for me, too, because I can say that I “know” you when my cherry loving friends go crazy over the quilt when they see the magazine.
And, just to think. I was about to go into Books A Million to see if the summer issue had come out yet, and I got sidetracked. I’ll go tomorrow, for sure.
