I got a surprise note from Marilyn at QuiltWorks last week. She said my #10,000 AAQI quilt was in this magazine called Generation Q. I didn't even know this was in the works, so it was a big surprise. She got this issue for free at Quilt Market so she was kind enough to pass it along to me. This is the inaugural issue, the one with Amy and David Butler on the cover. The magazine is very nicely done with a modern quilt sort of feel. I've just had a quick look through so far, but it might be worth your while to seek it out!
Here's a blurb from the website:
Generation Q Magazine is a community of modern and contemporary quilters, sewists and fabric addicts who love to create, are welcoming of new ideas and new styles while respecting what’s come before and who enjoy creative expression in all forms. On the pages of our BlogZine, we explore and share today’s modern and contemporary creative lifestyle, with a strong emphasis on fun and that sometimes slight push through our sensibilities. Through our articles, we seek to entertain and inform, and to take joy in what makes us Fiber Mavens tick. And because we are so much more than our stash, even if we often forget that, we offer recipes, reviews, insights and glimpses into life around us as well, but never forgetting the source of life for us: sewing.
We’ve been told that quilters don’t want or appreciate lifestyle content in their magazines. All quilters want, we’ve heard, are patterns. We don’t agree. We know our sewing and quilting enthusiasts get their love of fabric on in even the most mundane spots of daily life. We know this because we’re one of you. We study a building and think of a block design. We see a flower and want to find fabrics in the same colors. We hear about a tragedy and figure out how we can ease pain through a quilt. It’s how we live and we appreciate when our reading materials celebrate these quirks of ours.
