I'm so happy to tell you that my tulip quilt is published in Quiltmania issue 67. I made this quilt after I was inspired by the original antique version in Gwen Marston’s book: Liberated String Quilts. This quilt is owned by Nancy Ray.
Nancy Ray and Gwen Marston gave me permission to publish it in Quiltmania.
I am so lucky that I was able to meet Nancy Ray in Michigan last year at Gwen’s retreat. She brought the antique Tulip quilt to the retreat so we could photograph both quilts together. The original quilt made by an unknown woman about 100 years ago and my quilt which flew over the ocean for this meeting. It was very special to me. Thank you to Nancy and Gwen for allowing me to share my quilt with Quiltmania.
Michigan, oct.5 2009

Your tulip quilt is wonderful; what fun to see it with the inspiration quilt!
Gwen has always been my muse. She's so artistic, and prolific. Her retreats are so fun, arent' they?!
How exciting!! It's such a beautiful quilt and what an amazing opportunity to see it together with the antique quilt that inspired it. Your double lines of quilting are quite wonderful too. I'll be looking for issue #67 for sure.
We are so lucky with your quilt patterns, dear Lucy.
My top is almost finished (still 2 blocks to applique), and then .... on to the handquilting ! ;>)
I don't forget how lucky I was to get your kind help some (long) time ago about that quilt, and to me, it will always ne "Lucy's tulips" ;>)
HAPPY EASTER to you and your family!
XOXOXOXOXOXOXOXO

Congratulations Lucy. it is a beautiful quilt. I am thinking that I need to do hand quilting.
Congradulations Lucy,
It's a lovely quilt and I'm so glad you were able to
publish it. Everyone benefits from an artist's work.
Coincidentally I bought Gwen Marston's book
String Quilts a week before I received the latest
Quiltmania. This quilt is definitely on my to do list.
Thank you
Congratulations on having your quilt published. I enjoyed meeting you and seeing your quilt in person at Gwen's retreat last fall. It's fun seeing it beside the antique quilt that inspired it.
Oh, what an exciting news!

Will try to stop in more often!
I just realized of all the magazines I get, I do not take this one... I'll have to subscribe. Thank you.
Congratulations, Lucy! A lovely really happy quilt! And I am always happy to see a new blog post from you.
Lucy I love your tulip quilt and congratulations for getting it published. I only had Quilt Mania magazine once years ago now. I made a quilt from it. Is the tulip pattern in the magazine too? Regards
Nat
Your work is most beautiful. I too encjoy hand quilting a lot. Thank you for sharing. Happy Quilting! U.S.A.
Your tulip quilt is gorgeous!
isn't Gwen and her retreat the best?!
happy spring
Congratulations, I feel like diving in and making this one at last. What a big thrill to have the two quilts together.
Congratulations on being published! I admired your tulip quilt when you first showed it as a top. I liked it even more when you showed the hand quilted diamonds. But my goodness, Lucy, you absolutely transformed the quilt with double line stitching. It looks PHENOMINAL`(wish I knew the Dutch word)!
Did you know that I spent several Beaver Island Retreats in the company of Nancy Ray? She is a fascinating woman and I could listen to her talk for hours.
Excuse my poor spelling. Phenomenal is fenomenaal.
wonderful quilt and wonderful pictures.
we can now get Quiltmania here in Australia and I am so happy about it.
cheers
Christine
I bought Quilt Mania today after seeing your tulip quilt in it. I do not see in the magazine / pattern sheets the template for piece B. Any suggestions. Most of the Quilt Mania site is not in English so I can't tell if there is a correction somewhere.
I was just looking at that quilt last night. I've been thinking about adding a string quilt to my 'to make' list and thought that this one might be a fun choice!
Congrats on being published.
There is a similar tulip quilt on the cover of the Georgia Quilt Documentation Book. Love how folksy they look! I am taking a workshop with Gwen in July...can't wait!
