It's for the Birds {McCalls Quilting Magazine}

The process of the 2010 McCalls Quilt Design Star Challenge has come to the end. One of the prizes for winning the challenge was to have Kathleens' quilt pattern published in McCalls Quilting magazine.
(McCalls Quilting magazine July/August 2011)

Yesterday we received our copy and let me tell you, those ladies at McCalls did a fabulous job of putting the pattern together.
First, they have a two page article about all of the finalists in the 2010 design star challenge, and their amazing quilts. 
Then on the next page they have Kathleens' quilt & pattern, "It's for the Birds"
The pattern is written very nicely and has so very detailed instructions.
Quilt kits and magazines are available through Seasons of Home 435-654-2844

I just have to tell you all one last time, thank you to everyone who supported and voted for my mom, Kathleen in this contest. She is still flattered daily by the support that so many have given to her.

Here are a few photos of the quilt, just in case you haven't had a chance to see it before. :)

Above, Kathleen likes to add extra details, like a tiny white piping.

  4. I read the entire article, and agree with you. They did a wonderful job on the information about each quilter and excellent pics of their quilts. I thought your Mom's was the absolute best from day one though! The Cardinal Quilt was just gorgeous and such a unique look. Loved that it was non-symmetrical.
